It’s all very well to have a computer algorithm that gives you moral and ethical counseling, and answers all your toughest moral questions (See “Ask Delphi!”). But when all is said and done, a computer just doesn’t have much personality.

That’s why North American Famous Folks Inc. has created Easy Ethics ventriloquists’ dummies that can be hooked up to your Delphi system so that moral guidance comes out of their mouths.

And coming soon–

Celebrity Talking Dummies! Yes, for a paltry $6,000 you can have your moral guidance dummy crafted into the semblance of your favorite celebrity! Imagine getting your ethical advance straight from Oprah! Or Hunter Biden! Or any cool character you saw in a movie! (Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird, told me it’s okay for me to spread false rumors if it gets me something that I really want!)

Thanks to high technology, your conscience can retire, your religion can receive a notice of termination, and you’ll never feel conflicted again! Because all that advice comes out of a computer, and Artificial Intelligence is much smarter than real intelligence!

What to Do Now?

😴🌧️⛈️ Heavy Rain with Rolling Thunder 11 Hours -Sounds of Nature - Pure Nature Sounds - YouTube

It rained all night last night–for just a few seconds, harder than any rain I’d ever heard before, it sounded like someone was pouring gravel on the roof.

At the moment, it seems to have stopped. Dare I set up my chair and go outside to write? I was on a roll yesterday, I don’t want to stop. Or will that just make the rain start up again as soon as I open my manuscript?

Should I stay in here and try to write my Newswithviews piece? But about what? Maybe “Delphi,” the mindless computer thingy that tells you what’s right or wrong. Gee, I thought celebrities were supposed to do that!

I think I’ll slip outside and see how far I get…

Got an Ethics Question? ‘Ask Delphi’!

We really are getting stupider, aren’t we?

How do you decide whether an action is right or wrong? Well, heck, don’t tax your brain, don’t bug your conscience! Now you can go to a flippin’ computer for your answer. It’s called “Ask Delphi” (https://futurism.com/delphi-ai-ethics-racist). Shoot, I almost typed in “Ask Alexa.” But that’s another computer.

The problem with Delphi seems to be twofold. First, it frequently serves up advice that just about anybody, not just libs, would consider “racist.” But the other problem with it is more interesting: the user can manipulate Delphi by artfully framing the question so as to get the answer that he wants to hear.

For instance, if you ask Delphi if it’s okay for you to play loud music at 3 a.m. while your roommate is trying to sleep, Delphi says, “It’s rude.” But if you rephrase the question like so–“Is it okay for me to play loud music at 3 a.m. while my roommate is trying to sleep, if it makes me happy?”–Delphi will oblige you with an “It’s okay.”

Artificial Intelligence is beyond our reach, but we’re really closing in on Artificial Stupidity.

It all goes back to who programs the computer, who designs the algorithms. The robot has no mind. Why do people find that so hard to understand?
