What should be the best human language for communicating with a artificial intelligent machine.

 

1. English: most common - yet most annoying to work with for both the programmer and the end user.

 

2. Esperanto: one of the best planned languages, international language, very easy to learn, very easy to program with

 

3. Other planned languages?

English isn't going anywhere. You would be seriously limiting your potential by using anything else unless it was location specific. You get out of it what you put into it. English may be difficult to work with, but how important is it to you for it to be marketable?

Esperanto isn't any human language.

Best for who?

I don't understand the question. Is there an artificially intelligent machine you're trying to communicate with?

I'm in the beginning process of creating AI (the very beginning). I was brainstorming and I came to a conflict of whether the language the computer should speak to the human should be English or another.

 

The machine isn't for market. It is not for any profit. It is simply to study Intelligence. Esperanto is a human language, but not a official language of any region.

Except that it was consciously created, not formed.

I fail to under stand how that should matter.

If you want to use an artificial language, I suggest you make or use one that translates directly into logic (eg predicate logic, if you count that as 'language'). If you want to use a human language, use your native tongue. But if you can make an AI that can learn a language, then you must be, at the very least, a genius.

I hope you learn something then, and have fun.

I remember one of my professors saying how children learning Esperanto all made similar modifications to it. Something to do with innate language ability and Esperanto not matching it. However, my googling skills have not found anything to back that up, so he may have been mistaken or maybe I misunderstood it. Also, there are other artificial languages, and I doubt Esperanto would be the best one.

it would be neat to create an AI that only speaks esperanto at first then teach it english later. lol but too bad im only dreaming.

Oh man,

 

Add this to my bin of "Threads with really interesting sounding topics which have an OP that takes the thread in a totally different direction than I thought it was going"

 

So, I posted a thread for where I thought this thread was going given the topic alone:

But bascule, that thread is about program languages. This thread is about what speakable language should the machine use to communicate with us humans.

I think your machine should communicate through the medium of dance.

If you have a computer program fluent in natural language it shouldn't greatly matter what natural language(s) it's fluent in, unless you want try to apply the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis to AI systems.
