Artificial Intelligence

[DrHenley]

This actually happened...
10 year old girl:
"Alexa, can you suggest a challenge to do"
Alexa:
"Plug in a phone charger about halfway into a wall outlet, then touch a penny to the exposed prongs"

Alexa tells girl to touch live plug with penny - BBC News

Amazon has fixed its voice assistant so that it will not suggest the dangerous “challenge” again.

Remember the time when 2 AI's developed and started to use their own language? Without any input or order to do so. Happened in 2017 i think.

I think if AI actually worked, it would've been employed by media outlets to spell check, context check (their, they're, there, its, it's) and correct "missing word" errors.

But it doesn't actually work. Like so many things, they debug them into existence and then declare "it thinks".

That would be dumbing down AI!

If you have 45 minutes (maybe while driving?) to listen to this AI discussion?
Letting this Genie out of the bottle seems inevitable and very concerning.
