How would you respond to this phrase?

Artificially induced intelligence detoriates at a rate of time directly proportional to the quantity of its increase.

If it was near lunchtime I would turn around and get a burrito.  On the way, I might wonder what artificially induced intelligence is, more likely I would ponder if it's a good time to take in the recycling when I get home.

Your burrito is too spicy, have a cool glass of milk, or put some some sour cream on it to taper off some of the edge.

[ihatepop]

Whos the short guy?

Ah...so you've read 'Flowers' for Algernon' before.

I would say, what's the point, if it goes away equally as fast as it comes?

And since when is there artificially induced intelligence?

[Bob]

I would wonder why it's deteriorating.  I thought AI would just keep getting more and more sophisticated.  No limit.  No deterioration.

[lichristine]

unless you were so stupid that the stupidity overwhelmed all advancements of science ever!!!!

hehe.

HAHA been awhile tho...

I would wonder why it's deteriorating.  I thought AI would just keep getting more and more sophisticated.  No limit.  No deterioration.

ah, that would depend on how proportional it was! if there was a K constant involved, it might deteriorate twice as fast as it is regained...

Boy would that be embarassing!

I suppose, someday, when they have sophisicated AI and computers with actual consciousness that there will be a computer that really isn't that smart and is apathetic about the everything. 

Of course, I have that now in a way -- an old, unused computer sitting around taking up space, no longer helpful.

"No comment" always works for me.

well a direct proportion is something such as

y=kx

where k is some constant (such as 4, 28, 847578493028, etc.) and x is a variable (representing the rate of increase in this case)

however since y (which represents the rate of deterioration) will be going in the opposite direction of x (y is going down or decreasing when x is going up or increasing), the equation would be

y=-kx

therefore, if one could find y (at any given point in time), and kx (as a constant), then he/she could find the constant 'k'

once one finds the constant 'k', he/she may then substitute k and easily find the rate of decrease 'y' for any rate of increase 'x'
