AI is designed to replace 'commoners'. There is no future for common people.

[@JoeyBlogs007]

A scary one.

[@dangercat9188]

A bad one too. I fear for the future now more than ever. Robots? Are you serious? It's bad enough with social media and kids not wanting to have face to face conversations like normal human beings and now they wanna force robots onto them? That's so gross man. I say this as an introvert myself but even though I'm a reserved person, I still like to have conversations with others face to face. It makes me feel human. Ironically, the people that are in favor of this are the same ones saying "omg, life seemed so much more fun back then". Yea i wonder why.

He is certain there is no one behind the curtain typing in the responses?

[@bandicootcollector]

I can type at 140wpm which is a lot faster than the average 65wpm. Some people can type faster but rarely over 200wpm without training on specific phrases, and then their speed is limited to those phrases. You can get over 300wpm if you're using shorthand, like a court typist, so that could be done. However, it's not such a far leap from the tech we use daily. Our phones can recognise our voice and type for us, Alexa and Cortana can respond to our vocal commands, ChatGPT can respond to questions at great length and have conversations, and text- to- speech is incredibly old by today's standards. Link that tech together, and you can have a pretty fluid conversation.

To make real ai The machine would need access to all the bad things that make us human. Pain, discomfort, depression, anxiety loss, anguish, anger, desperation, obsession the list goes on. If the machine is just been guided down a certain path of decision making by its creators How is it anything more then a complex computer program None the less It is impressive But I just consider ai To be something that’s free and able to grow through experience creating it’s own unique personality all I see is an algorithmically generated script with source information provided by the internet Again it’s impressive But it’s basically just a massively upgraded customer service automatic response bot Attached to a Siri xD

(Clearly the author had anticipated the internet and especially the "internet of things".) When the computer network is finally up and tested across the planet the scientists decide to ask their computer the most searching question they can think of. They type in the question, "Is there a God?" A few moments later comes the reply ... "There is now". And a bolt from the blue melts the on/off switch into the permanently "on" position. So, if this robot and associated computer program, "knows" about that story and Susan Calman ... then it could be sentient enough to keep it's gob shut.
