What is the most advanced software that simulates human behaviour?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the simulation of human communication through computer languages and software, highlighting the challenge of replicating the randomness and logic inherent in human thought. The inquiry seeks advanced software capable of generating complex, contextually relevant phrases, distinguishing it from basic voice assistants like Siri or Alexa. Participants mention ongoing projects and research, including IBM's collaborations with DARPA and other organizations, which focus on cognitive computing and neurosynaptic networks. Notable resources include IBM's TrueNorth and related materials that explore brain architecture and efficiency in artificial intelligence. GPT-3 is identified as a leading AI model with impressive capabilities in generating human-like text, although it is not specifically designed for conversational simulation. Access to GPT-3 is available through an API application. The conversation emphasizes the complexity of accurately modeling human behavior and the potential of current technologies in this field.

I have been really curious about the possibility of simulate the human's communication hability using computer language/softwares. Most specifically, i have been thinking that the most difficult part of the simulation would be to "cofide" the level of randomness+logic that the human brain can have.

Do you know what is the most advanced software at currently days that tries to simulate human's behaviour?
Look that i am searching for a machine that has the hability to formulate phrases/comunicate as complex as human can, that is, i am not talking about softwares whose output phrases would be already written, and the possibility to it be used depending on the input of the interlocutor. (Like Siri or Alexa).

Is there any project at current days that study this possibility?

I can understand that the human brain is extremelly complex to be codifed exactly, but anyway.

Hi @LCSphysicist , very interesting, but a quiqk glance and I've found nothing. My personal opinion is to avoid the Internet, and ask directly this Forum, and also it would be fantastic if you had the opportunity to talk about it with an expert, specialized, AI researcher. Or journalist with background.
Regards!
 
IBM in co-operation with DARPA and other organizations (e.g. IEEE, LLNL) has done significant work in areas related to this.

You might be interested in GPT-3 which has been a state of the art AI model with capabilities over a broad range of tasks for a while now. You simply prompt it with text and it generates a response. It isn't especially geared towards simulating human conversations but it has produced some of the best output which I have seen in this domain so far.

Here is a twitter thread about some of its capabilities:


I'm not sure how accessible GPT-3 is for personal use. You can apply for access to an API here:

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
