Albania’s AI Minister Delivers Speech to Parliament

Albania’s new AI minister, Diella, delivered her first speech to Parliament on Thursday. “I’m not here to replace people, but to help them,” the AI entity created by Microsoft stated in a video displayed before elected human officials.

Prime Minister Edi Rama has even opened a social media platform for Diella where the public can allegedly engage with the AI Minister directly. “Hello, I am Diella, Thanks to my hard work as your assistant, I was elected Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence in the new government. My mission now is to make the government’s work easier every day,” a Facebook video-presentation on the Diella account said.

The Facebook comments show the people’s disgust. “Ahahahaha even a donkey understands what you have in mind… meanwhile the people have no work, no food, no home, no medicine, health care is for money or you die and you make fun of the people, come on state, come on live communism and dictatorship,” one user wrote. “You have found a sheep people who do not oppose you with your crazy experiments. But not anymore. Our children have the right to be elected and to choose who they know will represent them. And who will answer to the law. This step is madness,” another commented.

Parliament was in an upheaval after Diella’s speech. Opposition MPs refused to participate in Thursday’s ballot as they cannot take the words of a programmed AI entity seriously or see its presence as anything other than an utter embarrassment. “Diella is not a vision, but a virtual facade to hide this government’s gigantic daily thefts,” Opposition Democratic Party MP Gazment Bardhi rebuked. “Socialist MPs did not listen to the prime minister, nor to the ministers about their concrete objectives, nor to the opposition that might be made to them, but voted like sheep, creating an unprecedented situation in these three decades of post-communism,” Bushati said.

Traditionally, new cabinet presentations often last for hours. Lawmakers left the building after 25 minutes and nothing was accomplished. The people are furious. Diella is not viewed as a step toward ending corruption but as a mockery of the constitutional republic.

The new ficticious Albanian AI generated Minister is a great example how AI can become evil. Man corrupts everything it touches.

Peeling back the curtains, it is assured that Microsoft has dropped some coins here and there to "erect" this trial balloon.

AI is artificial, but it is not intelligent. LLMs -- large language models -- can only "scrape" web texts and synthesize based on algorithms. Previous "incarnations" have become openly racist, openly misogynist, openly "depressed", and some AI operators are being sued over such advice as how to commit suicide. Some Albanians have some Microsoft "encouragements" for this BS.

But the simple fact as shown by the Turing Test and Searle Room is that "if I can fool you, I win." GIGO and gullible people make for a fine equation. Signifying caveat emptor remains advisable.

Between Enver Hoxha and now this, Albania is the weirdest country on the planet.

The average human IQ is 100.

It turns out that passing the Turing Test requires showing a lot of stupidity.

Lol.

Coming to a country near you….but don’t expect a human face to be put on it, it will be imbedded, unseen and operating in every sector of society from religion to government.

Now the question, how to defeat AI? Abolish it by law? Not going to happen.

…..Most likely developing AI systems to defeat AI….but remember God commonly equips his believers with “ Bull$hit meters”, use it….it has served me well throughout the deadly mRNA vax scam, all of senile Joe’s term, etc….we are now living in an age of total Deception.

Was it REALLY the minister? What’s next? The Grand Duchee of Fenwick entering the fray?

So often, that's the case. When comments flow back and forth, and though conservative can disagree with conservative, it is lovely to include hotlinks or at least the mention of sources.

'Trust but verify' was and remains a famous phrase. Another that sticks in my noggin was made by a fired academic: 'Anyone can assert anything.' So verification is advised, alongside skepticism.

Happy Friday.
