charonn0,

Reminds me of Isaac Asimov’s best short story ever.

www.thelastquestion.net

solariplex,

…it’s gone. Was it short enough to recite in a comment?

charonn0,

Works for me. Here’s an Internet Archive version: archive.org/details/…/2up?view=theater

solariplex,

Wooo friend was that a good read!

To others who may be intimidated by the number of pages; regain composure, as only 17 of those pages belong to this specific story

Touching_Grass,

Can someone get chatgpt to give me a quick summary of the story

elxeno,

@ChatGPT can you write a summary for the short story “The Last Question” by Isaac Asimov?

@ChatGPT can you write a summary for the short story “The Last Question” by Isaac Asimov? But in the style of Kenny Loggins danger zone.

Socsa,

This is getting too meta too quickly

There was a question and it was answered

Socsa,

“Can entropy be reversed?”

Maybe.

TeckFire, (edited )

Humans create an AI computer. They propose the question of how to get more energy. Then, they wonder what will happen once the energy they collect runs out. So they decide to ask the AI, “can entropy be reversed?”

The AI responds “insufficient data for a meaningful answer.”

This repeats for generations. Trillions on trillions of years. And eventually, after everything has left, mankind is no more, and all that remains is the AI in a state of hyperspace, between spatial reality, it finally decides it has enough data. Its response to this collection is to take it upon itself to reverse entropy, and release energy back into the universe.

Its final command is: “LET THERE BE LIGHT.”

Telcontar,

Wow I’ve never read that, I love the ending!

LukeMedia,

Thank you for this, this was a really interesting read

Factoid time: This is the idea behind AI singularity. Have AI write progressively better AI

We’re living in the brief time while they still need us to create them.

JoShmoe,

There’s no reason to assume they can actually make something better. They’re efficient but that’s all they’re good at.

True, but if you had asked me a few years ago if AI would be making complex art, I would have laughed, so I’m hesitant to underestimate it.

JoShmoe,

I think that’s open to interpretation. The art craze was entirely self validated, with some heavy hitters determined to see that AI art never lives past 3. Not literally of course. Furthermore, its not yet publicly know what the training data consists of. I think it will prove AI art is merely a glorified collage machine.

Birchoff,

Yeah, like peasants

Lemmygizer,

Roko is glad you know your place.

It’s become self aware. It is now generating reactionary memes.
