Morgan Adams was already developing his own Generative AI models as a child and before beginning his work at Carnegie Mellon University. LOIS was his first result. But this archival poster is an interesting, if old, example of efforts by early AIs to use Generative AI to explain its own meaning, an amusing idea.

It’s a little clunky but does a reasonably good job of getting the basics right. Take a look to see the whole poster and gain a general insight into how the artificial mind learns. In many ways it is not unlike the way the human mind works, gathering millions of examples of the information all around and then extrapolating entirely new ideas from that database; learning, in effect, from experience.

The thing is, once an AI begins interacting with the world on its own, and expanding its database, could it develop a mind of its own? As Morgan Adam’s Doppelganger Project revealed, the answer is yes, it can.
