This is fascinating - a bit of a divergence from food blogging, although when you ask an artificial intelligence why it ingested what it did, you're sure to get slightly different responses...
It is all about stepping outside of the human mind and thinking about decision making processes from the perspective of an intelligent brain that "evolves" based on programmable algorithms and logics, fast logics - not the way we evolved, a billion interacting parts with a billion outdated contingencies.
Reading this relaxes me - soothes my aching fear of all human psycho conundrums. Maybe it will soothe you too.
And hey, the human brain evolved in the face of a million different logical conundrums, if the young human mind was at all analogous to a young AI. First we evolved towards sources of food, a body of capacities to obtain it, to process energy... a couple billion years later we were evolving complexities - emotions - and our eating preferences... I wish I could read my own mind like a map of nodes and metanodes, a process of reinforced and associative learning with clear connective paths, I wish I could know things like how many times a particular concept has to be reinforced before I will believe it, or how many times an assumption has to be negated before I will recognise my fallacious thinking - and futhermore, the complexity of knowing that as one individual brain, my experience, even if I were to operate entirely within logic, might entirely fail to converge to the greater body of logical conclusions - while another person's experience might fall more within the mean...

I am using this as a tonic to cure a bout of senseless human depression. I can't trace the rhyme or reason so I am searching the internet for a cyborgic transcendence from this nonsense.
