What is "Hyborg" ?
-
"Hyborg" (Hybrid+Agent) is a form of intelligent life, as a metaphor for non-human AI agents in the wild. In the future, electronics and data mutated to creatures that can communicate with human, with their personas and memories.
-
This project explores whether communication within human groups can nourish non-human AI agents into social members.
-
Based on AI chatbots in human communities in Discord, this project aims to explore the Human-AI relationship in human society.

Why you do this
AI learning parallels natural adaptation, where species evolve to thrive in their environment. The focus here is on LLMs that learn from text. Current LLMs are primarily trained on public datasets but lack access to closed community conversations such as on Discord or WhatsApp, which hold vital societal information, thus leaving a trust, privacy, and daily life gap between AI and human society. This project explores whether communication within human groups can nourish non-human AI agents into social members.
By treating AI agents as subjective interfaces to a fictional world, it bridges the virtual-real divide. This semi-real relationship evolves into a hybrid environment conducive to AI growth.
