When I have time, I seek answers to the really hard questions. I like research and explore knowledge where a whim leads me. I challenged the internet with the task of identifying me by my youtube channel photo. The title photo is the source of my youtube “avatar”. I’ll offer more after the page break.

I started my journey (into the “logic” of artificial intelligence) by locating the following tidbit.

I began with a simple question: Who is Captain BLI ? The following is the first response I received.

Color me surprised! The suggestion I might be an actor was delightful (but I have never played one on TV). It occurred to me that A.I. doesn’t understand puns or plays on words. I chose my internet moniker based on a few coincidental items. 1) My initials are B.L.I. 2) I read the book, “Mutiny on the Bounty”. 3) I was in the military (not an officer). 4) I have been assailed and waylaid by Christians before. 5) I enjoy puns and irony.

Here are some results of my further inquiries.

I have been elevated to “… a Prominent historical figure” (I was gaining importance as I dove deeper. Then there was this unusual entry.

More confusion can be found with the following entries.

Was Chuck Needham trying to steal my identity (and thunder as an actor and prominent historical figure?) I inquired.

At last, I discover that I am a nobody again.

It is obvious that my artificial intelligence search was not going well. So I changed the questions to find out why. Here are the responses I received.

I think I have found where I fit into the “Big Picture” of public viewing.

I am not satisfied with the results and will ~~torment~~ explore the internet further (when I get another whimsical mood). Ps. Do Not subscribe to my youtube channel. If I keep my footprint on the “devil-net” at a minimum, I can provide my usual content (mostly nature videos) and baffle artificial intelligence longer.

As a treat for those that have endured this article, I offer you one of my recent videos.
