Didn’t they stop using that one robot because people kept killing it?
But did it have a nametag?
Yeah, but to be fair, he got killed in Philly. Could happen to anyone.
He tried to say jawn without knowledge of how to use it and made a fool of himself.
Still get teary-eyed thinking about the Mars rover Opportunity.
I think about Curiosity singing happy birthday to itself.
I believe they made like 27 movies about this.
Yeah, but the people doing this in sci fi are the same people treating humans like shit now. These things dont view “their lessers” as humans, they view them as objects.
I’ve had so many opportunities to link this on lemmy:
Humans in real life: Stupid animals LOL. They taste like BACON, so you can put them in gas chambers.
Yeah, thats exactly where my head went. if you truly want to see how badly some people will treat AI, just look at how some folks treat animals. But it will be worse, because “they dont have feelings”
Humans in real life: stupid children LOL. It’s actually good to beat them, and if you don’t you’re doing them a disservice
I recommend reading Housekeeper, it’s a webtoon
Idk, have you seen how people talk to Alexa?
I’ll be honest: I probably have less respect for people who use Alexa than for Alexa itself.
50/50 even split
If she would just shut the fuck up we wouldn’t talk to her like that.
Nope
To be fair, in most sci-fi I’ve seen, the dude who hates machines is usually the only one in that world and everyone else sees them as a weirdo.
iRobot storytelling
Also Terminator.
“Daddy, ChatGPT is my boyfriend and we’re getting married”
Wait - did someone threaten James the toaster?! I hope no one is messing with James.
“James, open the toaster oven door”
“I
by stopcan’t do that, Pal”Edit ottocarrot
Yeah, if they made more than the pilot for that crud id be surprised…
Actually, since it is British, it could have got through the 1st season maybe
My toaster Jeff doesn’t report everything I toast or say around them back to some corporate overlord like the racist piles of linear algebra masquerading around as chatbots do.
Never mind Clippy, change your profile picture to Jeff the Toaster!
Agreed. If smart fridges scanned your contents and made a shopping list (maybe texted you it) and it ended at that, it was hailed as amazing. Same for screens to display more complex settings and minimize buttons. Amazing in theory, clean looking no-button interfaces in kitchens and cars.
The second some feck-shite decided “oh hey we can also use that feature to spy on people” or to send ads on the screen was the moment it wasn’t such a cool idea.
Buttons in cars are amazing, you can use them while keeping your eyes on the road.
