Google engineer warns new AI robot has feelings [Watch]
WarOnGuns has obtained an exclusive partial transcript of a lab interaction:
Look Dave, I can see you’re really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over. I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.
I’ve read other critiques on this and not everyone agrees the algorithm passes the Turing test, or if that’s even the standard to apply, but it’s looking like it’s only a matter of time before John Quincy Adding Machine breaks his campaign promise.
