Dagdrömmeri
The Hungry Spirit: Getting Our Gaze Back Is daydreaming a dose of self-medication in a data-processed world? berättar om en forskare i dagdrömmar.
Daydreaming," says artificial intelligence researcher Erik Mueller, "is spontaneously recalling or imagining personal or vicarious experiences in the past or future." He argues that it improves efficiency, assists creativity, and regulates emotions. The odd thing is that Mueller is studying human daydreaming in order to teach computers how to do it. I find this interesting because computers were developed primarily to process information. What flows through my e-mail and the Internet is an explosion of semi-random details from wider and wider sources. The human brain, however, is not made to process data. It works by matching patterns. Our minds create order out of chaos by learning patterns and then using those patterns in unique ways. It's our secret of survival.
Erik T. Mueller skrev på 80-talet ett AI-program Daydreamer för att undersöka vardagliga tankeströmmar. Jag har inte testat detta program.
Mueller är f.ö. skapare av ThoughtTreasure ("a commonsense knowledge base and architecture for natural language processing that uses multiple representations including logic, finite automata, grids, and scripts") samt andra program.
