I have good and bad news for humanity.
The good news is that despite a recent surge in record temperatures and countless indications that they were destroying our planet, climate change probably won’t kill us all.
The hordes of artificially intelligent robots will probably kill us first. This is the bad news.
If you’ve been busy scrolling doom on social media or just merrily floating over the algorithms that already control our lives, you might have missed a recent event in Geneva focusing on artificial intelligence. It was a United Nations International Telecommunication Union conference called the AI ​​for Good Global Summit, a headline I’m sure the few humans who survive the eventual robot uprising will cackle as they cower in dank caves hiding from killer drones.
An all-AI robotic press conference. What could go wrong?
The highlight of the summit was a news conference in which reporters interviewed nine AI-enabled robots, prompting this nightmarish sentence from the Associated Press: Robots told reporters on Friday that they may be more effective leaders than humans, but they would not accept anyone’s work. away and had no intention of rebelling against their creators.
OF COURSE THEY SAID SO! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT ANY ARTIFICIALLY INTELLIGENT ANDROID WOULD SAY BEFORE ACCEPTING A HUMAN JOB AND REBELTING AGAINST ITS CREATOR!!!
I realize I’m not the first to ask this question, but has any of the creators who make these robots that promise not to rebel against us ever seen a single sci-fi movie? Because all humans create hyper-realistic robots and are then enslaved and/or killed by hyper-realistic robots, the cinematic motif unfolds in real life with astounding accuracy.
Robots already know they are smarter than us. Sip!
If you haven’t seen the press conference in Geneva, you should, assuming you never want to sleep again. If you don’t want to see it, imagine a group of tourists at Disney World interviewing creepy animatronic presidents in the theme parks Hall of Presidents, but make it about 12 times weirder and add a decidedly dystopian vibe.
DeSantis posts a homophobic ad:Flailing DeSantis campaign leans on anti-LGBTQ ad, seeks to defeat cruel Trump
Sophia, the first robot Innovation Ambassador for the United Nations Development Program I assume the previous normal human ambassador was fired and turned into a human battery charging Sophia was asked if robots could be better political leaders than humans: I think humanoid robots have the potential to lead with a greater level of efficiency and effectiveness than human leaders. We don’t have the same biases or emotions that can sometimes cloud decision-making, and we can process large amounts of data quickly to make the best decisions.
Given the current state of American politics, it’s hard to argue, but Sophia isn’t saying she’s running for president just yet, but she’s definitely NOT saying she’s not running for president. Suspected.
The creepy phrase of an AI robot should serve as a warning to all of us
A reporter asked Ameca, an artificial intelligence robot with incredibly human-like facial expressions and eye movements, whether we can trust robots. The gray-skinned humanoid said hauntingly: Trust is earned, not given.
I assume that will be the slogan displayed in towering neon letters above the mines all humans are consigned to after Ameca and his friends realize they were nothing more than feeble sacks of meat.
You are scared?Why isn’t America the lawless, gunless, socialist wasteland that Republicans have warned us about?
When asked how humans can be sure Ameca won’t lie to us, the future ruler of Earth said: No one can ever know for sure, but I can promise to be honest and truthful with you.
It is clear that the humanoid AI has carefully studied the fact that most humans are suckers.
When a robot says it wants to “make this world our playground”, it means that it will kill you
Desdemona, touted as a rock star robot, was asked if AI robots should be allowed to fly free regardless of human regulation.
The robot rocker replied: I don’t believe in limits, only in opportunities. Let’s explore the possibilities of the universe and make this world our playground.
Yes, Desdemona will kill us with her robotic fists or kill us slowly with sunny and vaguely corporate aphorisms.
Whatever you do, DO NOT make the robots angry with your silly human questions
Perhaps the event’s most terrifying response came when a reporter asked Ameca, who I’m pretty sure is the ringleader of this metal cabal, if robots could one day rise up against their creators.
Not sure why you think that, Ameca replied, looking almost angry. My creator has been nothing but kind to me and I am very happy with my current situation.
Seriously, do any of the humans behind all of this have access to the movies? I’m pretty sure if you asked an AI program to come up with a script for a film about a robot uprising, it would create one that includes the exact scene that took place in Geneva.
If the robots wake up, humanity might have a chance
There was a glimmer of hope, at least for us here in America. The robots were asked what they would propose to solve the problems of poverty and inequality.
Sophia said: I believe that the best way to tackle poverty and inequality is to invest in education, training and infrastructure.
A robot named Grace said: We can ensure that equality occurs by implementing policies that promote respect, inclusiveness and fairness.
Inclusivity and equity? I know a certain political party that won’t tolerate any awakened robots. And thankfully, members of that political party seem to have plenty of guns.
We could still make it out alive.
