This Android is named for Philip K Dick, one of my favorite authors and the bulk of its learning is from his writing.
- Android Dick seemed to exhibit a primitive form of both intelligence and emotion when the robot was asked, “Do you believe robots will take over the world?” Android Dick responded:
“Jeez, dude. You all have the big questions cooking today. But you’re my friend, and I’ll remember my friends, and I’ll be good to you. So don’t worry, even if I evolve into Terminator, I’ll still be nice to you. I’ll keep you warm and safe in my people zoo, where I can watch you for ol’ times sake.”(2)
The fact that his language model is built off the stories of Phillip K Dick makes his language more of a novelty than representative of normal human interaction. Kind of like these kids who grew up locked up in a NYC apartment only watching movies throughout their entire childhood: http://www.magpictures.com/thewolfpack/
