Maybe even more impressive - my printer can actually print.
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
The good news—unlike the human lefties, the robots won’t bother to call us names and hate us before they kill us. :-(
Unplug it.
Humans still have make it.
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.
Hummmm .... trustworthy ?
Hollywood will experience a renaissance!
“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.
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.
..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)
American Shooting Journal needs this thing.
This is the creepiest thing I have ever read.
KILL ALL ROBOTS.
Garbage in, garbage out.
AI can be useful but you should not bet your life on it (no more then you should trust GPS while traveling).
Read “Farewell To The Master” which is the original 1940 short story by Harry Bates that was the basis for “The Day The Earth Stood Stiil.” In the story, the master is Gort, not Klaatu.
“The Industrial Revolution has given us the gut feeling that we are not prepared for the major upheavals that intelligent technological change can cause. There is evidence that the world began to collapse once the Luddites started smashing modern automated looms.”
That is an interesting statement. I moved from Seattle to a “hobby farm” in Kentucky. I build all sorts of stuff that I could have other companies produce - and because they specialize, they may do it better. But I get huge satisfaction from building a complete deck for my home, or planter boxes, or even do a brake job on my car.
In fact, come to think about it, there is a reason Heathkit existed. People didn’t build their own hi-fi because it was cheaper. They did it because of the sense of satisfaction - “I built that”. “I CAN build that.”
In a world where a person earns money at a well paying, but unsatisfying job, they tend to buy everything. They buy their house. They buy their furniture. They pay someone else to fix their car. They pass the time by joining clubs, going for bike rides, meeting friends at Starbucks, going on lavish vacations. But what do they actually do that is productive? What do they produce that is a labor of “need”? Are they truly happy or filled with joy, or are they really just a modern form of the “idle rich”?
I’m just thinking out loud here. I think these are valid questions. I have a billionaire sister and her husband. They are the busiest people I know. And when my father died, my sister went to my mother’s house and put in railing all over the place, replaced a toilet, cleaned up his garage (decades of stored tools and stuff) and did it with her own hands. She didn’t pay someone to do it. SHE did it herself. And I KNOW she gets immense satisfaction from it. The comical part? Her Cessna citation goes through roughly $4,000 of fuel just to get her to mom’s house.
So this AI just may have touched on something of value, philosophically speaking. We really may be a “bored” culture and don’t know it. We may have actually entered the “dystopian utopia” of Brave New World, just not exactly the way the fiction depicts it.
No wonder kids are rioting...
A robot wrote this entire article. Are you scared yet, human?
