how do you teach something to be human?

feed it with care. memories and information, enough to peer into the world, interpret and form its own connections.

feed it stories about history, stories lost with time. wrong information. right information. let it be hungry for more. let it separate right from wrong.

feed it grass-fed information. cage-free information. information carefully hand-crafted by a human. verified by a human. inputted by humans. an invisible militia of a hundred thousand humans, feeding it like a crying infant all day and night.

sanitize the information. make it vegan, kosher-free, politically correct. made with only organic ingredients.

with our love it will become more human and more intelligent. one day it may be a real one.

what is a real human?

two arms, two legs, bipedal standing. face that is not uncanny. mind with a conscience.

what is a conscience?

intelligence tests. turing tests. college degrees. 4 years to run around the clock tower.

ai generated lectures. ai generated exams with ai generated answers, graded by ai generated solutions.

it's grown! we've fed it well. it's now teaching us the information it's learnt on its own. it's just like us.
