Talk:Friendly artificial intelligence

Do not ask for a short definition. Even after you read CFAI it is very likely that you will only begin to understand Friendliness.

That's fine, we'll give it a long definition but try to be concise. 207.112.29.2 02:28, 29 Oct 2003 (UTC)

The reason I listed Friendliness Theory for deletion is because it has only 40 Google hits. This would strongly suggest the theory is not (yet) well known enough to be included. Wikipedia is not a place for primary research, so if this theory is new, then Wikipedia is not the place to publicise it. Sorry if you think six minutes was a little hasty, but I felt that the topic itself was not appropriate for Wikipedia, so any amount of editing to the article would not have changed my mind about that. Why not add your information to an existing page instead rather than trying to create a new article? That way, the fact it is new can be explaining in the context of a wider article and is less likely to be deleted. Angela 03:20, Oct 29, 2003 (UTC)

Hi, do not confuse me with the original poster of the article. I am merely an interested lay-person who happens to know the topic. It is not primary research that is being posted on wikipedia; and the theory is not a new one, see [1] for its mention in 1995. The criterion of 100-google matches is met by much discussion surrounding keywords relating to the topic and the author of the original work rather than having used the term itself. Since it is a specialized term, the 100-matches test should not apply and is in fact controversial if you believe Wikipedia:Google Test. 207.112.29.2 03:32, 29 Oct 2003 (UTC)
