Best HFY Stories: Accidentally A War Crime

[@americanpride5540]

I love the implication that the reason our AI didn't go rogue like the alien AIs seem to do is because our AI is as stupid as we are.

[@bainshiedoom3287]

To quote the first chapter in this series of stories: "Which brings us to the exception. Each AI is built with a purpose. The Wooleans built slaves, built workers. The Tritians built warriors, built weapons. Every single AI created has been built to serve, to be a tool. But Terrans in their painful loneliness built the one thing they were missing in a seemingly empty universe: They built a friend."

🤣👍

4:42 I love the subtle criticism of all the HFY stories that boil down to “Alien didn’t sign paper, war crimes no longer exist, let’s be demons, Yee-Haw!”

[@RannonSi]

Same!

[@bainshiedoom3287]

As the Author of this story: Yeah, I hate that trope. If the only reason you're not doing terrible things is because they're 'illegal', then you're not a good person.

[@RealBelisariusCawl]

@@bainshiedoom3287 Like, I could accept that in the circumstance where an alien empire declares complete and unrestricted war on us that we might have to have a discussion amongst ourselves about what lines we will or will not cross, but that’s different than just throwing morality out the window altogether. 100% agree with you.

i like how madhaus's data bank is filed with frogs and the "stiff" and "stuff1" files is so illogical, that another AI took damage from it

[@bennood2031]

This ones good on so many levels: I love how we did the whole artificial intelligence thing; but we failed mostly at the intelligence bit.

[@waterpicker6879]

I have this personal belief that the day that a true self aware AI will not be some unknowable alien consciouness but infact would be quite human. I assume Madhouse was created to be a bottom up AI who created his own purposes. Hey can't be helped if the emergent intelligence happened to have a liking for puns, anime, and its creators species more self indulgent media.

[@bainshiedoom3287]

To quote another one of my stories in the same universe: Kevin couldn’t help but feel his IQ drop as the AI continued to argue. He remembered reading pre-AI stories about the fictional digital intelligence, about how they would be better than humans and bring a new utopia to the world. Unfortunately it turned out that AI had to learn from their creators, and humans were terrible parents.

[@arealhumanname4150]

I've already watched this 7 times, and I can confirm, this is truly a NetNarrator classic

[@Jszar]

I want to see Madhouse’s library of puns.

[@DomTheeeFoe]

Same

[@heavenlyderpfowl1180]

Tldr ai gives another ai Stockholm syndrome

[@charlesmclain6558]

Stockholm AI syndrome

[@jefftitterington7600]

"Enemy combatant' - hmm. I've heard that before.

[@KuDastardly]

A, AI Stockholm Syndrone story that gives the impression of breaking a meta to mention an HFY trope, lol.

[@johnnycampbell3422]

Sooo, Billie is the top.

[@darth-matt92]

how dare they make a story to call out every HFY story reader/listener XD

[@Mark73]

Don't most instances of disregarding the Geneva Convention in HFY revolve around the non-signatory enemy committing war crimes first? I thought signatories were allowed to commit those actions (or at least some of them) in response to someone else committing them.

[@volatilesky]

Stuff 2, 3, 4, 5, is also where I keep my other stuff that didn't fit in stuff and stuff1.

[@r.kellycoker9387]

Cute story about an AI and his pet subconscious .

[@chrisdufresne9359]

I was curious about the accidental war crime. Kinda sad Canada wasn't mentioned.

[@MartyrPandaGaming]

Any time the Geneva Checklist is mentioned, that's our mark. What our enemies did to Non-Combatants, we made up for in the trenches... and on POWs... and Civilians. The glory days. We're not even a shadow of the husk of what we once were.

[@DavidVincent-f5l]

We mite get an additional story with Billy and Madhouse nuptials.

[@BeeKisses]

Yes HSUA reference

[@idem0david]

Sound like a Stockholm syndrome to me, but hey, if it works…

[@lordhellsreach3552]

Really good one😊

[@zlboyle90]

I don’t want to know what is in the stuff and stuff 1 folders.

[@gabriellopezcollantes1027]

Based AI. 😎

[@JohnTheRaeder-xf5sh]

Noice!!!

[@TheSumone]

Stole first like an coment!

[@BeeKisses]

You didn’t steal anything, you won it

[@paulgreen2416]

No one cares other than the person making the 'first comment' smh

[@jhackofalltrades]

​@@paulgreen2416 You underestimate how childish some of us readers of NetNarrarator are
