That would actually be enough to start with. Even without knowing the categories - and I don't need to know the categories - an AI probably could come up with not you per se but would come up with something that you would recognize as something understandable to you but that got it wrong, unless it happens to generate the appropriate categories. The understandable is the part that's intriguing to me. For example, if you had an AI use each of the six movies and instructed it: "Keep each of the six in a separate category. Generate a distinct category for each that minimally overlaps with any of the other five" or "Keep each of the six in a separate category. Generate a distinct category for each that maximumly overlaps with all of the other five" [I think there's several other ways to go about it as well] You would have an AI that you understand because it's constructed of ideas from movies you will both have in common, yet the lessons it draws FROM those movies may be different. I wonder what it would be like talking with someone who knew everything you knew to the depths that you knew but interpreted it differently, making different connections, taking different paths. == I think you might end up with someone you could continually talk to, as each tries to convince the other to see their point of view, and over a period of time, you'd come up with mutual understandings, even if retaining their own distinct worldviews. Oh, I'm fascinated with this idea. I also need coffee but I love a good "what if". ==
