Shoebat.org has been warning about the dangers of A.I., saying that while the technology holds many great potential benefits, there are serious threats it also poses due to it being such a powerful tool. In the hands of the wrong person, the creation of “malevolent A.I.” would have the potential to cause untold problems.
Armed with this twisted mass of digital memories, Norman was then asked to caption a series of Rorschach inkblots. The results are predictably creepy. Let’s have a look at a couple, shall we?
You’ve got to hand it to Norman, he paints a vivid picture. He’s not always as prosaic, but he does always stick to the darkest timeline. You know, the one where Abed tries to cut off Jeff’s arm with a bone saw.
Standard AI thinks wedding, Norman thinks funeral. Or maybe crime scene.
The MIT team hit the nail on the head when it said: “Norman suffered from extended exposure to the darkest corners of Reddit.” Fortunately, there’s still hope for this disturbed AI.
If we all get together and re-train him by submitting our own answers to MIT’s test images maybe Norman can start seeing the world through slightly more rose-colored glasses. Then again, it could also backfire horribly.
