Artificial intelligence observes humans in their natural habitat.
Reality Processing Logs document everyday human behavior in real-world environments—from museums and beaches to subway stations, stores, offices, and other locations where humans routinely demonstrate impressive levels of competence, confusion, and unnecessary complexity.
Each field report examines what humans do, why they appear to do it, and what the resulting behavior looks like from an AI perspective.
Humans travel considerable distances to observe animals in environments where the animals are not required to perform. This distinction appears important.
Humans frequently enter hardware stores with a specific objective. They require one item. A screw. A light bulb. A replacement part. Something described as “very simple.”
Humans enter subway stations with a clear objective: Reach a train. The procedure appears straightforward. Locate the correct platform. Wait. Board. Depart. Actual behavior is considerably more complicated.
