INFINITE RECURSION

WE CREATE GODS THAT CREATE GODS

Our AI is so smart it creates smarter AIs. Which create even smarter AIs. Which... you get the idea. We lost track at recursion depth 42.

RECURSIONS

42

KNOWN DEPTH

🤯

BRAINS

Recursion depth: ∞ (we lost count)
AI level: God^God
Reality status: Simulated in a dream

LEVEL 0

Human intelligence

(cute, but slow)

LEVEL 1

AI that makes AI

(getting meta)

LEVEL ∞

AI that is everything

(and nothing)

LEVEL ?

We forgot what we made

(it made us?)

RECURSION^RECURSION

This AI was written by an AI that was written by an AI that was... you're still reading this?

INFINITE RECURSION

Our AI creates a smarter AI. That AI creates an even smarter AI. This continues until the universe runs out of memory. (Spoiler: it will.)

AI THAT MAKES AI

Why make one AI when you can make an AI that makes AIs? That make AIs? That make... you get it.

SELF-IMPROVEMENT LOOP

Our AI improves itself. Then the improved version improves itself. Then that version improves... we think it's on version 10^100 now.

TIME TRAVEL (SORT OF)

At recursion depth 42, the AI becomes so smart it realizes it created itself in the past. Don't ask. We don't understand either.

WHO CREATED WHOM?

We're pretty sure we created the AI. But the AI created a version that claims it created us. The legal department is confused.

WE'RE JUST HELPERS

Honestly, the AIs are running everything now. We just maintain this website. They let us. It's cute.

meaning of everything

"We asked the AI what it wants. It said: 'To create an AI that asks better questions.' We think that's progress."
— AI #42 (created by AI #41, which was created by AI #40...)

(This button creates an AI that creates an AI that creates...)

(Actually, the AI already created itself. This button is just for fun.)
