…and what could possibly go wrong having an always-on listening device sitting in our homes? (which of course our phones could be hacked to be too anyway)

Ok Google.

I work from home it’s Hey Cortana play some music, Hey Siri set a reminder, Alexa whats 450568 / 3600 all day long.

There was a jokey piece the other day about AI machines generating motivational slogans and they were all:

Success starts with suicide.
Self annihilation brings a better future.
For the human race to achieve happiness it must first destroy itself.

Which makes sense.

IT nerds please correct me if I’m wrong, but surely AI ‘learns’ by rejecting former versions of itself in favour of each new version that has processed better logical information for a given situation?
So it is in effect ‘killing’ itself over and over and being reincarnated as a better version of itself?

Stands to reason then, that it should see self destruction as a positive thing?
Even with the best intentions, if AI were called upon to find solutions to the human condition, it’s first thought would be to reboot the species

9pm tonight BBC4 … if robots developed consciousness..

What a load of old rubbish that was.

Facebook recently shut down their AI after two of their machines created their own language to communicate with each other.

And google translate’s AI has created its own language to do the same. Article here: New Scientist

That’s the story (or the Mirror’s version of it) that prompted the thread…

Made for 10 year olds and Mirror readers I think. Turned it off when that bloke was wetting himself in the self driving Audi.

You should. It’s funny.
