Can We Teach an AI to Read a Story and Pull Out the Truth by How the Author Tells the Tale?

A short time ago I was having a debate with a very devout and extremely well-studied religious fellow and scholar, and our dialogue included the possibility that the Bible, Koran, and other significant religious works of the world’s largest religions might be nothing more than tales handed down from those back in the day who had wisdom to depart. Why might they do this you ask? They simply wanted to keep the fabric of society together, and everyone on the same page to prevent chaos and anarchy.

Indeed, those that came before us lived their lives, and they had wisdom to leave for future generations, therefore it makes sense that they would do so in literature, or in religious works. Now then, I imagine making a statement like that would be blasphemy in many religions, but this was an open debate and discussion from a highly intellectual individual, and a devout religious philosopher in his own right.

Okay so, I suggested to him that perhaps we could train and program and artificially intelligent computer to read novels, literature, tales, and stories and teach it how to pull wisdom out of stories, and decipher between fact, fiction, parables, and historical truth.

In other words just because someone makes a story or a tale doesn’t mean the wisdom behind that story isn’t truthful, even if the story is just made up. Right now DARPA and IARPA are trying to develop artificial intelligent software that can take apart metaphors to help better understand language, but the problem is it’s hard to teach a computer the difference between fiction, an actual event, or a hidden lesson within them. Are you beginning to see how difficult this would be for computer software?

After all, it’s even difficult for humans to decipher if something is true or not.

We all know the story about Robin Hood, Sir Lancelot, and Shakespeare’s many stories. Some of those are based on historical events, some are purely historical fiction, but all of them are tales with embedded wisdom. Now then, without offending any religious folks, I would submit to you that many of the religious works that go back thousands of years are much the same way.

Of course, once we taught an artificial intelligent computer how to decipher what is real and what is not, it might easily be able to pick out the parables, the historical fiction, and the truth in the wisdom and philosophy behind the tales. Now then, I don’t doubt that there would be many people who wouldn’t believe the conclusions that such a sophisticated artificial intelligent program came to, but, over time and AI learning machine, would be able to get to the point to know the truth, even though humans would be unwilling to admit it.

Well, I didn’t mean to present you with such a heavy topic online here, but it is an interesting concept you have to admit. Indeed, I will leave you with that thought, and you may e-mail me after you’ve thought about it, with your own future predictions, or perhaps ideas on how to design such a software system. Please consider all this and think on it.
