snydersThe Mindpixel Digital Mind Modeling Project
"A Mindpixel is a binary statement of consensus fact such as "Water is wet" or "It is difficult to swim with ski pants on". The idea behind this project is to collect as many such statements as possible from the world wide internet community and validate them. The database will then be used to train neural net based systems to mimic a human
being when presented with Mindpixels.
Eventually, it is hoped a GAC trained neural network will become indistinguishable from any human being when presented with any yes/no question/statement independent of whether or not GAC has seen that particular question/statement before.
Please register and talk to GAC. You can ask GAC any yes/no question that you think will be either true or false for all people. When you do, your question will be logged and presented to other users of GAC from which a probabilistic reponse profile for that question will be built. You will also be asked to respond to 20 Mindpixels other users have asked GAC. Please answer all of them and answer them how you think most people will answer them."
"WARNING: Failing to respond to all of the Mindpixels above or responding in a random of malicious fashion will hurt your reliability rating and I will learn to ignore you.
DO NOT WORRY: If you see a Mindpixel that you think really has no answer, then guess. You will not be punished if everyone is really guessing on a particular Mindpixel. You are only punished if you are in a minority of 30% or less."
