... seriously though, the only true way is to intermix and alternate. Dialects are made to be muddied and misused. In due time, it will all be one glorious slurry of language.

And then we'll make some more and start all over again. It'll be great. Apostrophes everywhere.

Less absolutely terrified, and more concerned, but this thread seems to be the best fit for these thoughts.
That may be worrying at some level.
And sure, robots can be creative, but still..
What I wonder.. will they be able to match the greatest writers in history?
Will they ever be able to write stories that actually make sense?
Sure, maybe if the A.I. is complex enough, but as things currently are.. I don't see them ever being able to write epic tales such as that of Tolkien or Shakespeare.
Or even acting for that matter.

I remember when that website had an IRC channel and me and LW hung around in it for a couple days, talking to random passerbys. Good times.

it might be enjoyable for an AI to read, but it's perceptions and interests and even its style would be different from humans. It could technically write the whole thing in binary on top of that.

That's assuming the AI can experience joy.

So I changed my avatar with that signavatar thing, will it be a problem that the pictures are on imgur? Should I move them?

Most people use Imgur to host their avatars.
But that is probably not what you were asking, wasn't it.
