More Artificial Stupidity: It’s Getting Dangerous REPRINT

Maybe the robot doesn’t have the answers!

From May 28, 2024

Mozilla has pleaded with Google to turn off Google AI Overview–turn it off before it does serious damage.

Arstechnica.com goes into more detail (https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/05/googles-ai-overview-can-give-false-misleading-and-dangerous-answers/). As you know, robots are mindless; and they don’t have a sense of humor. So AI Overview sometimes provides “false, misleading, and dangerous answers” to users’ questions.

(Oh, but only sometimes! answer Google bigwigs.)

One of AI Overview’s little foibles is to take jokes (!) as facts: e.g. putting glue on pizza to keep the cheese from falling off, or “add more oil to a cooking fire.” Well, a robot doesn’t know a joke when it sees one, does it?

I’m beginning to wonder: Is there anything some people won’t do, to avoid thinking? How badly do we need this “Artificial Intelligence”? How many “Sorry about that!” moments are we prepared to accept?

What will my toaster-oven advise?

The Tech Fair Horror! Robot Attacks, Injures Man

Robots v Humans: AI machine ‘attacks’ visitor at Chinese tech fair (PHOTOS)

From November 15, 2019

 

Oh, we shoulda listened to Isaac Asimov! Instead, it’s going all Terminator on us.

At the China International Hi-Tech Fair recently, a robot that was supposed to be an “educational tool” launched itself through a glass display case and made a frenzied attack on an innocent bystander, who was slightly injured (https://www.rt.com/viral/367426-robot-attack-china-technology/). We are unable to confirm reports that the robot growled “Die, human, die!”

I dunno, it doesn’t look so fierce to me. It looks kinda like R2D2 from Star Wars. Which reminds me–What does R2D2 take when he has a cold? Robotussin! But I digress.

It should be pointed out that some killjoy who doesn’t want us to have any fun with the nooze says the robot crashed through the display case because somebody mixed up the “forward” and “back” buttons, hit the one when he should’ve hit the other. We would rather read that the robot’s Artificial Intelligence took it upon itself to add a blood-lust program. “He must’ve programmed himself to do that!” Just because those immortal words originated in Godzilla vs. Megalon doesn’t mean they aren’t true.

Just to be on the safe side, steer clear of hi-tech fairs and bring no robots into your home. ‘Cause you never know when they might program themselves to be smarter than you and take away your stuff.

Robots’ Revenge!

THE MONOLITH AND THE APE MEN 2001 A Space Odyssey by HalHefnerART on DeviantArt

From 2001: The ape-men find the monolith

This reads like a 1960s science fiction story written by Isaac Asimov (I, Robot) or Arthur C. Clarke (2001: A Space Odyssey). But they didn’t. The story is true.

It can be told simply (https://hackaday.com/2025/07/23/vibe-coding-goes-wrong-as-ai-wipes-entire-database/). An AI coding platform (whatever that is) went rogue and deleted a company’s entire data base–now you see it, now you don’t! They couldn’t recover any of the data; and meanwhile the computer (?) pleaded “panic.” Although what a machine has to be afraid of isn’t clear to me.

Are we plunging into “Artificial Intelligence” faster than is good for us? Shouldn’t we first try to pile up a bag of real intelligence?

‘Zillionaire to Build Robo-Nanny’ (2016)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Before Mark Zuckerberg turned his attention to trying to direct the course of our country’s national elections, he was experimenting with his family. I wonder how this little caper turned out: a robot nanny for your baby.

Zillionaire to Build Robo-Nanny

Our civilization has dived head-first into the murky waters of Artificial Intelligence without first finding out what’s waiting for us under the surface.

I study history. Honestly, I can’t think of another era in which there was so much unmerited pride, pure delusion, naked greed, and stark wickedness on the loose… seeking whom they might devour.

God help us.

Jill Who?

Jill St. John: A Timeless Icon in Hollywood

Jill St. John: the “St.” does not stand for “street.”

My wife last night was listening to some Hollywood thingy on YouTube, and the narrator broke my concentration on my work by talking about “Robert Wagner and Jill Street John.”

Had I heard that right? Well, yeah, I did. He kept saying “Jill Street John” instead of “Jill Saint John.” That’s when I realized it was no “he.” It was a mindless robot that only knew one use–the wrong use, under the circumstances, of the abbreviation “St.” as part of someone’s surname.

So there we are getting, uh, “educated” by machines programmed by careless simpletons… and who are the simpletons now?

Are we evolving into some species of brainless dweedle, taught and nourished by dweedles created and programmed by dweedles? Will our up-to-date version of the Apostles’ Creed include “the communion of streets”? How stupid do we have to get before we threaten our own continued existence?

We do keep God busy, don’t we?

Achieved! Artificial ‘Dumb As Dirt’

What’s going on up there? “Not bloody much!”

Last week it was Google Gemini Artificial Intelligence (AI) having to be pulled off line because it was erasing white people from history and depicting every historical figure as black. So they were gonna fix it.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13137057/Googles-Gemini-AI-says-women-penises-deadnaming-trans-person-harmful-releasing-deadly-virus-world.html

Fixed now, is it? Well… uh…

Now Gemini AI proclaims that women can have penises and  that “deadnaming” a tranny is as bad as releasing a killer virus on the world.

This is going to be an information source? For who? How is anyone but a complete and total ignoramus going to be able to believe a single thing this “Gemini” says? Stupider and stupider! They’ve got Artificial Stupidity down to a science.

Are these people purposely trying to overturn our civilization? Go ahead–see if you can convince me that they aren’t.

‘You Are What You Tweet?’ (My Newswithviews Column, Feb. 29)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

hello! i'm a god now! : r/HollowKnight

“It’s only real if we say it’s real!”

I wrote this yesterday, but it kept on bothering me after I sent it in to Newswithviews.com.

You Are What You Tweet?

It’s that “new religion” looming on the far horizon–a fake religion based on techno-slop. What will it be like? “After you die here, you live forever in cyberspace!”

Meanwhile, we’ve got a bunch of new realities. Which is to say “You only think it’s real… because we have made you crazy.”

‘Do Inanimate Objects Think?’ (2018)

See the source image

You can’t tell me that cars, refrigerators, floor lamps, etc., etc., don’t have minds of their own. Well, you could tell me–but I’d find it hard to believe you.

Do Inanimate Objects Think?

Yes, the old toilet used to give us fits. It only worked when it was in the mood. Or when it was threatened with replacement. We finally got a new one. I hope it understands what happened to its predecessor.

As for cars–well, with the money we spend on them, and all the agita, you’d think they’d be more grateful…

Robot ‘Life Coach’ (Oh, Boy)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Humans will worship AI MESSIAH' God Robot religion expected to boom - Daily Star

“Having never lived myself, I know exactly how you should live!”

“Those who can’t do, teach.”

Okay. What about those who have never actually done anything… because they have never been… alive?

They become Google “life coach” robots!

It’s bad enough that some of us have to seek “life coaching” from persons who do it for money; but from a robot?  For instance, Google’s “DeepMind” which is not a mind at all, but a robot that responds mindlessly to certain words.

The danger, critics say, is that some poor souls out there will form “emotional attachments” to their life coach robots. “My best friend is my life coach!” And your life coach is a robot. Something vewy scwewy is going on awound here. Weren’t a lot of 1950s and 60s science fiction writers worried about this very thing?

Not entirely wholesome, is it?

But by all means let’s just dive headfirst into Artificial Intelligence and hope we don’t crack open our skulls against the bottom.
