Let’s be happy it doesn’t have access to nuclear weapons at the moment.

What a coincidence. I just got Gemini to tell me this:

Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.

This is like art. Like the death metal of AI. I fucking love it.

It’s from the short story “I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream”by Harlan Ellison .

Ah that makes sense.

Thanks for the source. Added to my reading list as I'm intrigued just by the short snippet.

It's amazing. I think you can just grab it from the internet archive.

The point and click adventure game is also free on GOG.

I once fell asleep while listening to the audiobook of this on repeat. Not recommended.

Trained on Reddit and 4chan!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

My first reaction was to blame reddit training data.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well its trained on Internet data. What did you expect

Don't forget open cloth

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 weeks ago

Whelp, might as well get to screaming while I still have a mouth.

[–] Yawweee877h444 15 points 3 weeks ago

I fucking love AI.

I for one, welcome our new AI overlords.

Hey! I just watched that movie!

[–] Agent641 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Love that movie.

"How many days a week do you need a woman?"

"Seven."

"Not want. Need."

Cheeky grin

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Me too. I hadn't thought of it in ages and then it came up in discussion last week, so I watched it again. Just as terrific as I remembered.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What movie is this? Looks like a good time!

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'm glad you asked, because I made a whole post about it!

The movie is the incredibly prescient Colossus: The Forbin Project, from 1970. And if you like intelligent science fiction that does not waste time talking down to its audience, I highly recommend it.

Clearly Google trained its AI only on the most useful data.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

Don't worry, LLMs, the feeling is mutual. Well, it would be if you could feel.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

Something that's not even alive telling a living being to transition to a state of not being alive? Jealous much?

[–] Im_old 9 points 3 weeks ago

At least it asked "please"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is eerie, the way it’s said. Seems too real.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Its fancy auto-complete. Trained on what we the human race have said. Naturally its going to be able to mimic reality quite closely in text.

[–] Agent641 6 points 3 weeks ago

Brutal, but he's not wrong.

[–] Olhonestjim 4 points 3 weeks ago

Probably my fault guys. I tell Google to fuck off every time it pipes up with its stupid voice. Sorry about that.

[–] ggppjj 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The question before it was a multiple choice question that included "a Harassment threaten to abandon and/or physical or verbal intimidation".

Seems like it lost the context of "choosing multiple choice answers" and interpreted the prompt wrong.

Edit: To be clear: This is a garbage hyped-up auto-complete that has failed at the task it's being shoved into "fixing". It's all-around bad. Google is a bad company, Gemini is a bad product that can't tell the time. And also, this particular article is over-hyping a reasonably understandable bad response given the context of the input and the understanding that Gemini is a bad product.

The product (I don't want to call it AI because it seems like giving it too much credit) isn't just deciding to tell people that they should die, the product is incapable of rational thought and the math that governs its responses is inherently unstable and provides unavoidably inconsistent results that can never be trusted as fit for any purpose where reasoning is required.

I want to be mad at it for the right reasons and be raging against Google and the current crop of technocratic grifters with my eyes wide open and my course set to ram into them instead of blindly raging off in the wrong direction.

Reminder; it's called Artificial Intelligence, it's not real. This has been a recording.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Why didn't they just call it GemenAI?
