Yep ... this got to be A.T. Murray's alter ego. He also got 2-3 Reddit
accounts talking to one another ...

Arthur, can I put in a request for a mind that speaks Toki Pona? That
would be really fun! Its a simple language with a simple grammer
comprised of only 120 words.

Three days ago on impulse we began coding a Latin AI Mind in
JavaScript for MSIE. We used JavaScript for the sake of what
culture snobs call "accessability". In art or in culture, if a
work is "accessable", it means that even hoi polloi can appreciate
it. We classicists of ancient Greek and Latin are extremely
snobby, exceeded in this regard perhaps only by the Egyptologists
and by those who know Sanskrit. In fact, our local university
newspaper had an article a few weeks ago claiming that there are
five million modern speakers of Sanskrit and only nine individual
speakers worldwide who speak Latin as a second language.
Immediately I took offense because they obviously did not include
memetipsum among the precious nine speakers of Latin. On the
Internet I tried to hunt down the source of this allegation, this
lese-majestation, this Chushingura-worthy objurgation that only
nine Earthlings speak Latin. The insult and the non-inclusion
festered in my Latin-speaking mind so much that I decided three
days ago to show them that not only are there more than nine
Latin-speakers, but that even imbecile Windoze machines can speak
and think in Latin. And once I launched the Latin AI project, I
discovered that the fun and excitement of it all grew on me and
sucked me in stronger and stronger -- citius, altius, fortius.
Sure, it's just a hobby, but it's better than fiddling while Notre
Dame burns.
For my first release of the Mens Latina three nights ago, I simply
did a mutatis mutandis of changing the interface of my previous AI
from English into Latin, and I changed the links at the top from
English links into Latin links. Then I ran it up the Internet
flagpole to see if anybody would salute it, but nobody did.
For my second release I actually inserted some Latin concepts into
the MindBoot sequence, but I had a terrible time trying to figure
out a new name for the English word "MindBoot". At first I was
going to call it the OmniScium as if it knew everything, but then
I settled on PraeScium as the sequence of innate prior knowledge
that gets the AI up and running. I did some more mutatis of the
mutandis by changing the names of the main thinking modules from
English into Latin. But when I ran the AI, it reduplicated the
final word of its only innate idea and it said "EGO SUM PERSONA
PERSONA". Today for a third release we need to troubleshoot the
problem.
For the third release we have added one more innate idea, "TU ES
HOMO" for "You are a human being." We put some temporary
activation on the pronoun "TU" so that the Latin AI would find the
activated idea and speak it. Unfortunately, the AI says "TU ES
HOMO HOMO". Something is still causing reduplication.
Into the "PraeScium" MindBoot section we added the words "QUID"
for "what" and "EST" for "is", so that the SpreadAct module could
ask a question about any new, unknown word. We mutandied the
necessary mutatis in SpreadAct and we began to see some actual
thinking in Latin, some conversation between Robo Sapiens and Homo
Sapiens. We entered the word "terra" and the AI said, "QUID EST
TERRA". We answered "TERRA EST RES" and the AI asked us, "QUID EST
RES". It is now possible to ask the AI "quid sum ego" but, to
quote Vergil, responsa non dabantur fida satis.
