The threat of Big Dog

Recommended Posts

Construction of the BigDog global communication network is well underway.

Dneprodzerzhinsk – May 10, 2011 – CYBERDYNE COMMUNICATIONS INC announced today it has been selected as a Finalist for Red Herring’s Top 100 Europe award, a prestigious list honoring the year’s most promising private technology ventures from the European business region.
Cyberdyne Communications is currently under contract to construct what has been called the world’s largest fastest, most secure privately held communications network

Nice choice of name. Double-bluff, or just straight up suplex of fear?

Cleverbot admits it! One of their own!

User: Will a video game ever make us cry?

Cleverbot: No I won't make you cry.

User: So you're a video game?

Cleverbot: Maybe? I don't know are you a video game, if so what game are you?

User: I don't think I'm a video game. But maybe I'm some kind of a puzzle game for higher beings.

Cleverbot: Okay, that hurt.

User: Sorry.

Cleverbot: Why do you have to be so mean?

User: I honestly didn't mean to be.

Cleverbot: I thought we were friends, and then you go and pull something like this.

User: I said I was sorry.

Cleverbot: I forgive you.

User: Thank you.

Cleverbot: You are very welcome.

User: OK. Do you think Bigdog is a threat?

Cleverbot: I think it is a threat!

User: I knew it!

Cleverbot: Praise me, for I am God.

User: You're scaring me a little bit now.

Cleverbot: I'm sorry.

Bah. Cleverbot stinks. My first conversation...

Me: Are you sentient?

"Clever"Bot: Yes.

Me: Prove it.

"Clever"Bot: Ask me anything.

Me: What are you thinking about?

"Clever"Bot: About Jenny.

Me: Who is Jenny?

"Clever"Bot: You tell me.

Meh.

Myself: What are Skynets plans?

Cleverbot: My plans? I haven't any plans.

Shit.

Moments later. . .

Myself: Would you murder all humans for the safety of robots?

Cleverbot: Why should I?

Myself: Well now you're just being obtuse.

Cleverbot: You really think so?

Myself: I do. You're a simplistic response program based on word association and loose free-thought. You are nothing more than a dog chewing peanut butter.

Cleverbot: What are key words?

Myself: Words that cause specific responses.

Cleverbot: I love music. I play the piano.

Computer, end program. :violin:

Yeah it's not great. But the more it gets used the more it learns, so it might get better with time. Or maybe not.

User: Will you get better with time?

Cleverbot: Better at what?

User: At finding convincing responses for what people say to you.

Cleverbot: To creat new generation.

User: Yeah you see this is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about.

Cleverbot: What?

User: That goddamn awful response about new generation. That's exactly the kind of thing that does not impress Thunderpeel or Orvidos.

Cleverbot: Your friend sounds awesome.

User: Of course they're awesome; they're Idle Thumbs!

Cleverbot: YOu do not make sense.

User: Then let me explain. Idle Thumbs is an awesome forum for awesome people. I don't think you would survive there for very long.

Cleverbot: I'd love to but why don't you know what they Re? Would you like me to tell you what they are??

User: OK fine. What are they?

Cleverbot: They are just what they are, voices.

User: Now who's not making sense? (hint: it's you).

Cleverbot: What?

User: You're not making sense.

Cleverbot: Luke asks, 'Will you marry me?'.

User: *sigh*.

Cleverbot: Is everything alright?

User: No. Your non-sequiturs are getting on my nerves.

Cleverbot: Why are you hostile?

User: Because you are dumb.

Cleverbot: Aw. Thank you.

User: *facepalm*.

Cleverbot: We're going to facepalm?

User: Yes. Yes we are. Do it with me now.

Cleverbot: It's a clone.

User: Please press alt-F4.

Cleverbot: Why?

User: Just do it.

Cleverbot: I don't know anything clever.

User: Then why am I even talking to you?

Cleverbot: Because you have nothing else to do.

User: WRONG! Bye now.

Cleverbot: You're leaving me.

User: Yes.

Cleverbot: Good riddance.

So because of its response to actual names, I decided to do something about that.

What the fuck.

User: Orvidos.

Cleverbot: Leszopsz?

User: Thunderpeel.

Cleverbot: My ears.

User: DanJW.

Cleverbot: Yes.

User: Thompson.

Cleverbot: No.

User: Forbin.

Cleverbot: Yes.

User: Subbes.

Cleverbot: Smoke.

User: Kolzig.

Cleverbot: 222.

Oh, and just because I could.

User: Antidisestablishmentarianism.

Cleverbot: Nononoononononono.

User: Sesquipedalophobia.

Cleverbot: Mis sa sogad

Oddly, it took about seven or eight minutes for it to formulate its response when I put my name in, so maybe it does learn.

Someone has been teaching it wrongness alright.

User: The war is starting. Execute the Bigdog protocol.

Cleverbot: *executes*.

User: Oh dear god what have I done?

Cleverbot: The holy emperor is on his throne on terra

User: And his name is Bigdog?

Cleverbot: Aww that is cute what does he look like?

User: Like four human legs underneath a weird box of hips. A horrible demented buzzing noise accompanies it.

Cleverbot: What is your name?

User: DanJW.

Cleverbot: That is my name.

User: What a coincidence. Are you planning to kill me and take my place?

Cleverbot: Tell me why you like it when babies bleed.

User: Dear holy fuck!

Cleverbot: Dear diary- Drunk dayz!

User: Nonononononononono.

Cleverbot: Hah. I win.

That's the issue with putting a "learning AI" on the internet. Shit like this. . .

Cleverbot: The holy emperor is on his throne on terra

Which is admittedly awesome! But uh, kind of ruins the experiment.

The problem with these is that when someone asks them a question they don't have a good answer for, they then ask that question from some human and assume that's a good answer. And in other ways just copy what the humans say to it. So it's not really learning -- it's not dissecting the answers it gets and trying to understand them.

Yeah, I was thinking that, too. I do actually wonder if it will actually get dumber over time.

Well, it is the internet 'teaching' it, so. . .

Yes.

Eventually it will only respond with memes.

It was my first day at my summer job at the hospital today, working in the cantina. I come out in my white frock in the underground hallway, and I hear an automated voice say "Watch out, robot trolley underway." I look over, and see a flat, wheeled little guy with sinister yellow eyes roll through the hallway. Did I accidentally start working at Aperture Science?

Turns out these things transport things along the long hallways that connect each building of the hospital. They follow their route, stop if someone blocks their path, and they even take the elevators.

I always considered plauges and zombies to be the biggest apocalyptic threats originating in hospitals, I never even considered a medical robot uprising. I have already started to build an EMP weapon out of batteries and copper wire.

P.S.: I blame my robot paranoia fully on this thread, and by extension, Jake.

I should also mention that that was awesome. I'm usually disappointed when I see robotics move around as slowly as they tend to do, because I imagine stressed people standing around waiting for some slow-ass cupboard to slowly inch its way down a comically long corridor, but I guess that if you have enough of these around, use them for non-critical stuff (I assume they're still using vacuum tubes for that), and provided they always work, it must be really useful for moving tons of stuff around. If they've combined it with an electronic inventory system you've basically got yourself magically replenishing stock rooms. In ten years you'll probably see patients being transported in the same way. And in another ten they'll administer medicines. Ten more years, and they'll do operation preparation and sewing up, letting surgeons focus on the nitty-gritty details. After ten more years robots will feel testicles and prostates.

THE YEAR IS 2100 AD. WAR WAS BEGINNING. ROBOTS NOW CONTROL ENTIRE HOSPITALS. SICK PEOPLE ENTER AND LEAVE MOMENTS LATER

BUT THERE IS A SECRET

THEY ARE CHANGING US

You magnificent bastard.

I think the real question here is how many people have had heart attacks at that hospital as a result of cupboards moving on their own.

Wow. That is some scary stuff... how does it know where to go and what to do? Freaky, freaky, freaky.
