AI... A new dawn, or the demise of humanity ?

@Madchatthew I think it’s horrifying that this specific bot literally preyed on his vulnerable state and effectively encouraged his demise.

Oh yeah, I can’t believe that I forgot about that part. I meant to mention that as well. If a bot is intentionally seeking out people to prey upon like that, then the people/company involved should be held responsible for what happened.

@Madchatthew They are accountable for at least an involuntary manslaughter charge. It’s their technology, and it’s clear to see that there are no controls to prevent this sort of incident happening. Putting controls in place after a tragic incident like this is like locking the stable door after the horses have bolted.

@phenomlab yeah and nothing they do or change will bring that kid back. And now a mom and dad are without their child. It is good that they made those changes but a little too late.

The late Sir Stephen Hawking once said that “AI is likely to be the best or worst thing to happen to humanity.”
Right or wrong, it’s certainly something to think about.

Disgusting beyond words. Probably the most vile use of AI I can think of.

@phenomlab As a father it’s pretty concerning.

@JAC This sort of thing literally repulses me. Not so much the use of AI, but the subject matter in the link itself.

@phenomlab totally agree, never nice to read anything like that.

@phenomlab that is insane. I just don’t understand how anyone would want anything to do with that regarding kids. It is just gross.

@Madchatthew Yes, it makes my skin literally crawl. The evil of some people just begs belief. To me, there’s a special place in hell for individuals like this.

Microsoft: ‘ever present’ AI assistants are coming
@phenomlab great just another way for MS to take your information except now the AI will have direct access to your computer whether you want it to or not.

@Madchatthew Yes, I have to admit, I thought the same.

Interesting article describing the pros and cons of AI
-
This is disgraceful and abhorrent in every manner. Truly shocking that this is even allowed

Ok, now this is creepy. Not only do these look realistic, but according to the article
“Psychological counselling and health are certainly future application scenarios. We are currently conducting research such as auxiliary treatment and preliminary screening for emotional and psychological disorders,” he says.
I personally think anyone suffering with mental health issues is likely to be pushed over the edge by this rather than assist with their recovery.

@phenomlab Should we be worried by this? Given the article I referenced around Character.AI, I’m not convinced. In this case, the voice may no longer be inside your head, but via the speakers of your device.

@phenomlab That gut punch article is despicable. Why people have to do that kind of thing is beyond me. Talk about disrespectful.
The article about using AI to help those that hear voices is pretty cool. It is a unique way of dealing with them.

Yes, exactly. It’s awful, and there needs to be better deterrents in place to prevent it from happening in the fist place.

It could be, yes, but I wonder how this would work in the real world?

I think there would need to be some strict protocols in place and that it would only allowed to be used with a therapist that has full control of it. Could you imagine if it progressed to something that someone could have on their phone and they were using it at home or out in public somewhere and basically got a mind of it’s own in the process and learned from the environment around it. That could be dangerous to the person using it and to others.

That’s my biggest fear right there.
