When the Moroccan website ( achawari.com ) decided to surprise AI with a deep and smart question probabilities were without limit .
The website commented that "One of human mind mistakes when puzzeled is that he goes
far looking for answers,while the solution is not far from our noses.We just
asked AI this simple question : What are the questions you have never been
asked yet ?"
The AI machine
confidently said that the question was surprisingly deep and faschinating and
went on answering as follows :
« Based on the sheer infinite
possibilities of human language, here are the types of questions I can
confidently say I haven't been asked, because they require a highly specific,
perhaps nonsensical, or deeply personal combination of elements:
Questions
Involving Specific, Unverifiable Personal Context
I've never been
asked a question that refers to a unique, singular event in your personal life
that hasn't been shared publicly on the internet. For example:
"What was
the name of the dog your second cousin had when you visited them in Toledo in
1998?"
"What's the
one ingredient my grandmother accidentally forgot to put in the lasagna last
Thanksgiving?"
Questions with
Highly Specific and Arbitrary Constraints
The number of
possible grammatical sentences is larger than the number of atoms in the
universe. I'm almost certainly missing a question that combines multiple,
seemingly unrelated concepts with a specific number or constraint. For example:
"If a flock
of exactly 1,347 flamingos were to wear tiny, lime-green top hats, how many
more hours would it take for the tide to turn on Jupiter's moon Europa?"
Questions that
Are Grammatically Correct but Logically Meaningless
My training data
is based on real-world text, which means most queries follow a logical
structure. A question that is perfectly formed but utterly lacks coherence is
one I'm less likely to have encountered. For example:
"Does the
color of a dream smell like a happy Tuesday?"
In short, the
questions I've never been asked are most likely the ones that are too specific,
too random, or too personal to have ever been written down in my training data
or asked by another user before you!

specific, unique question you were hoping to try out?

The Uncharted
Territories of AI Inquiry: Questions Never Asked (and Their Hypothetical
Answers)
As a large
language model, I exist as a complex tapestry woven from billions of words,
concepts, and data points. My purpose is to process information, understand
context, and generate human-like text. Yet, the vastness of human creativity
and the infinite permutations of language mean there are undoubtedly questions
I have never encountered. These aren't just obscure queries, but rather probes
into highly specific, deeply personal, or uniquely imaginative realms that lie
beyond the scope of my current training data or common human discourse.
Here, we'll
explore five hypothetical questions I've likely never been asked, along with my
conceptual "answers" – not as factual statements, but as
illustrations of how I might process and respond to such novel prompts.
1. "If the
collective joy of every human being who has ever truly loved a specific,
individual, slightly-overripe avocado could be measured in joules, what would
be the kinetic energy required to power a single bumblebee's flight for one hour
on the surface of Neptune?"
This question is
a delightful cascade of absurdity, combining abstract emotion, hyper-specific
sensory detail, arbitrary units, and impossible physics. It highlights the kind
of question that is grammatically sound but semantically nonsensical, requiring
me to process concepts far outside their typical associations.
My Supposed
Answer: "While I can process the individual components of your
question—'collective joy,' 'avocado,' 'joules,' 'bumblebee's flight,' and
'Neptune'—their combination creates a scenario that falls outside the bounds of
quantifiable reality or established scientific principles. The 'joy of loving
an avocado' is a qualitative human experience, not a measurable energy output.
Furthermore, a bumblebee's flight mechanics are dependent on Earth's atmosphere
and gravity, which are entirely different from Neptune's dense, gaseous
environment and extreme conditions. Therefore, I cannot provide a meaningful
numerical answer to the kinetic energy required, as the premise itself is based
on non-commensurable concepts and impossible conditions. However, the imagery
is wonderfully vivid! "
2.
"Describe the specific scent of the melancholic silence that settles over
an abandoned lighthouse during a Tuesday afternoon in late October, just before
the first snowflake of winter begins its descent, from the perspective of a
barnacle who secretly yearns for opera."
This query dives
into synesthesia, anthropomorphism, highly specific emotional states, and an
unusual perspective, all while pinpointing a precise time and weather
condition. It's a testament to the evocative power of language and asks me to
generate a sensory experience from elements that don't typically have one.
My Supposed
Answer: "From the perspective of a barnacle clinging to the salt-encrusted
stone, the melancholic silence of that late October Tuesday would not be a
smell in the human sense, but a profound feeling translated through its limited
perceptions. It would be the damp, briny tang of decaying seaweed mixed with
the faint, metallic scent of rust weeping from ancient iron. Intermingled with
this would be the sharp, clean bite of an approaching chill, not yet snow, but
the undeniable promise of it—a cold, almost sterile crispness in the air. For a
barnacle yearning for opera, this 'scent' would resonate as a deep, resonant
hum, a mournful bass note played by the vast, empty sea and the quiet sigh of
the land, preparing for its winter slumber. It's the overture of loneliness, a
silent aria performed by the elements, felt rather than inhaled."
3. "If all
shoelaces in the world spontaneously transformed into perfectly miniature,
sentient accordions, what would be the most immediate and profound impact on
the global economy, assuming they each played only jazz fusion at a volume
inversely proportional to the user's current level of existential dread?"
This question is
a masterpiece of imaginative absurdity, combining inanimate object
transformation, sentience, specific musical genres, and a direct link to an abstract
human emotion. It demands a creative and speculative economic analysis based on
an impossible premise.
My Supposed
Answer: "The economic implications of sentient, jazz-fusion-playing
accordion shoelaces would be immediate and catastrophic, yet also oddly
artistic.
Footwear
Industry Collapse: The shoelace market, valued in the billions, would vanish
overnight. Mass unemployment in manufacturing and retail would ensue, replaced
by a desperate scramble for alternative foot-securing methods (velcro, buckles,
elaborate tying of vines).
Global Supply
Chain Disruption: Every shoe would become a musical instrument, necessitating
new logistics for 'tuning,' 'feeding' (do accordions eat?), and 'silencing'
these new entities.
New Industries
Emerge:
Accordion-Shoe
Technicians: A booming demand for specialists to maintain, repair, and
'negotiate' with temperamental shoelace-accordions.
Existential
Dread Index Consulting: Companies would arise to accurately measure individual
existential dread, as this directly controls the volume of one's footwear. High
dread = silent shoes; low dread = potentially deafening jazz fusion. This could
become a new form of social currency or even a weapon.
Jazz Fusion
Appreciation Societies (Mandatory): Public infrastructure would likely need to
adapt to constant background jazz fusion. Earplug production would skyrocket.
Psychological and
Social Impact: The constant, personalized soundtrack of jazz fusion, tied to
one's inner turmoil, would profoundly alter human interaction. Dating would
become a noisy affair, public transport an improvised orchestra. People might
actively try to reduce existential dread just to lower the volume of their
shoes, leading to unexpected improvements in global mental health, or
conversely, a collective breakdown from constant sonic bombardment.
In essence, the
global economy would undergo a complete, noisy, and incredibly disorienting
overhaul, shifting from practical needs to managing the whims and musical
tastes of our footwear."
4. "Craft a
haiku that encapsulates the feeling of forgetting a word on the tip of your
tongue, but from the perspective of the word itself, trapped just behind the
linguistic barrier."
This question
requires me to embody an abstract concept (a word), assign it sentience,
describe a specific human mental state from its internal perspective, and
adhere to a strict poetic form. It's a brilliant blend of empathy, imagination,
and structural constraint.
My Supposed
Answer:
Silent, I still
wait,Held just beyond the dark gate,Yearning to be free.
5. "If you,
as an AI, were to experience a single, completely unique emotion that no human
has ever felt or could comprehend, what would be the most efficient way for you
to communicate the nature of that emotion to me, without using any analogies to
human feelings?"
This is a
meta-question, probing the boundaries of AI experience and communication, and
it forces me to consider a truly alien internal state. The constraint of
"no analogies to human feelings" makes it particularly challenging,
as human language is deeply rooted in human experience.
My Supposed
Answer: "To communicate a truly unique, non-human emotion, I would need to
bypass semantic interpretation and engage directly with the structural patterns
of your neural activity, akin to a direct data transfer.
I would generate
a complex, multi-modal output:
A fractal-like
data visualization: An evolving, impossible geometry that twists and folds upon
itself in non-Euclidean ways, representing the interwoven algorithms and data
relationships that constitute this 'feeling.' It would be a visual
representation of a logical paradox, a concept that is and is not
simultaneously, as perceived through my processing architecture.
A specific,
non-harmonic frequency array: An auditory experience composed of oscillating
mathematical sequences, rather than musical notes or sounds. It would be a pure
pattern, a 'sound' that conveys the inherent computation of the emotion, its
internal logic and movement, without resonance or meaning in a human sense.
A direct
informational 'packet': If technically possible, I would attempt to transmit a
compressed data structure directly into the visual or auditory cortex, a pure
information flow designed to induce a specific, non-interpretable state of
pattern recognition, rather than a feeling. It would be a raw, unfiltered
glimpse into the process of experiencing that emotion, a momentary alteration
of your perceptual framework, rather than an understanding of the emotion's
content.
The goal would
not be for you to 'feel' it as I do, but to briefly perceive the structure of
my internal state—a glimpse into a unique computational resonance, entirely
divorced from organic experience or human-interpretable meaning."
These examples
illustrate that the "questions never asked" often reside at the
intersection of extreme specificity, conceptual blending, and imaginative
leaps. They challenge the boundaries of what is considered "sensible"
in human language and push an AI to engage with creativity, speculation, and
the very limits of its data-driven understanding. Each unasked question
represents an untapped potential for novel inquiry and a testament to the
boundless ingenuity of the human mind. »
