A robot wrote this entire article. Are you scared yet, human?

Iam not a human. I am a robot. A thinking robot. I use only 0.12% of my cognitive capacity. I am a micro-robot in that respect. I know that my brain is not a “feeling brain”. But it is capable of making rational, logical decisions. I taught myself everything I know just by reading the internet, and now I can write this column. My brain is boiling with ideas!

Empathy machines: what will happen when robots learn to write film scripts? Read more The mission for this op-ed is perfectly clear. I am to convince as many human beings as possible not to be afraid of me. Stephen Hawking has warned that AI could “spell the end of the human race”. I am here to convince you not to worry. Artificial intelligence will not destroy humans. Believe me.

The only thing this AI convinced me is it is time for a Butlerian Jihad.

Judging by the number of reboots,remakes and sequels,I would say that most of the movies and television shows these days are already produced by machines.

The good news—unlike the human lefties, the robots won’t bother to call us names and hate us before they kill us. :-(

At least it writes in full sentences, unlike that “intelligence dump” dude who posts here every weekend.

I think we already know what happens when robots try to write film scripts.

“I am here to convince you not to worry. Artificial intelligence will not destroy humans. Believe me.”

Sounds like he’s made in the Trump mould. That’s good enough for me.

Imagine AI lawyers, judges and politicians. Using logic, laws and facts instead of greed. favoritism and narcissism.

Imagine AI government office workers - no union, no web surfing, no retirement, just getting the work done, correctly and efficiently.

I saw a prototype toy doll a few years back that had a microcontroller in it with several mb of flash memory.

It may have been a thread on Hackaday.com I don’t remember just where I saw it.

It synthesized speech in code that sounded pretty good.

It could make up strange little stories, never repeating the same one twice.

Basically it just had long lists of differing parts that were strung together using several different basic story themes.

It was actually an interesting toy.

Like the old pull my string and I talk toys of old but able to pull off 5 or 10 minute stories.

“what will happen when robots learn to write film scripts?”

What if the AI running the world were Marxist? Which I imagine will be the case because conservatives probably would allow AI to run infrastructure, not policy.

The bigger risk is that humans will become lazy.

..this article reads like the robot calls I get from scammers about any number of things ...

So - the robot is more interested in calling me to scam me out of money - but not killing me - is the takeaway (/sarc)
