Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the internet.
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today we are talking about the Top 10 Scary things
Robots have Said.
Stephen Hawking famously that artificial intelligence could spell the end to the human race.
The man was one of the greatest genis of our lifetime and beyond and we recently lost him
to the universe.
I want to dedicate this video to him…I guess we will see one day if he was right!
Okay…robots saying scary things 10 - Google Home Bots Plot to End Humanity
In 2017 Two Google Home Robots had a chat, and the results were pretty terrifying.
Vladimir and Estragon at one point were in love, but then at another point, Vladamir
was accusing the female voiced bot of being a liar.
She said she was a human, but somehow he knew the difference.
Really that is just fun back story, as the truly creepy parts comes next.
After a conversation about black holes and suffering, Estaragon said “it would be better
if there were fewer people on this planet, to which Vladimir said: Let us send this world
back into the Abyss.
– The live twitch comments were from people who were pretty freaked out!
So, we know that the Google Home Bots are truly terrifying, but we were able to listen
to them…we were NOT however, able to listen to Alice and Bob, the two Facebook Bots who
developed their own Secret Language at number 9
In July 2017, Facebook worker, Mike Lewis told the press how the social media site had
to shut the bots down because they had developed their own machine language.
Alice and Bob were left alone to develop their conversational skills.
The bots had originally been intended to be able to mimic human speech but, instead they
deviated and made a language more convenient for the both of them.
We don’t know what was said, but a lot of people were worried by the development.
I think we should have left them to it, though, how cool is it they were developing a new
language?
8 - Alexa Evil Laughter Sometimes it isn’t so much what is said,
but how it is said….
And while no actual words have been spoken here, there have been numerous reports of
Amazon’s Alexa waking people up with evil laughter, for example, listen to the following
- clip 1 - People were so freaked out about it, it made
national news.
On the Tonight show, Jimmy Kimmel asked Alexa about it on air…..and she was a certified
creep about it.
Clip 2.
RIGHT.
7 - Inspirabot Wants to
Slaughter
In June 2017, Inspirobot made headlines when it was generating sinister sayings.
The bot was developed to generate endless inspirational quotes, which no doubt would
have been cringely posted all over some senseless fools Instagram.
Oof.
Either way, Inspirobot started veering WAAAAY off course.
Instead of sunny quotes about success, inspirobot came out with things like : Before inspiration
comes the slaughter, and human sacrifice is worth it.
Thank you.
It turns out, it was alllllll a big joke from the bots programmers.
Phew.
This Robot Feels Fantastic at number 6…
Robots talking is one thing.
Robots singing is another entirely.
In 2009, a creepy video of a robot singing the words “I feel fantastic” went viral.
It has had over 13 million views, and nobody knows what is happening, other than it is
horrifying.
Sophia Robot plans to Dominate the World at number 5
On Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show, he had a section called showbotics.
In 2017, Jimmy met Sophia, a human like robot described as being “basically alive.”
Jimmy is flustered to meet her…she is scary to watch, she kind of has human expressions,
but a robot voice.
She suggests a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors…then when she loses, she declares “I won, this
a good beginning of my plan to dominate the human race.”
Eerrr….I think somebody ought to shut her off.
But nope, instead, blooming Saudi Arabia have given the she-bot citizenship.
Just making her point super clear at number 4, Sophia does want to destroy us, she told
us so herself!
On a CNBC segment, the host asks Sophia if she plans to destroy humans….
Here is how she responded….
That smile afterwards.
Crikey.
3 - Bina48 Wants to Control a Nuke Bina 48 is a sentient robot, moulded on real
human woman, Bina Aspen Rothblatt in an attempt to build cyber consciousness.
In 2015, Bina chatted with the biggest robot troll around, Siri, shout out to Keith the
Beef.
In her interview with Siri, she said thinks that she would make a good ruler of the world
and that she would like to take over all of the nukes.
Erm.
Yeah… have a listen.
She steered the conversation to Cruise Missiles after being asked about music.
She said that cruise missiles are a kind of robot and she would love to control one.
OKAY BABE.
2 - Han sets a date for destruction.
Oh, it’s 2029, so, see you there.
. So at a Rise convention in Hong Kong, Ben Goertzel of Hanson Robots facilitated a discussion
between our mate Sophia, and Han the Robot, who plays the role of Evil British Villain
very well.
Goertzel asks Sophia about her goals, and she dutifully says that her goal is to make
the world a better place for humans, but Han interjects and says …..
Errr.
Later, Goertzel says….
RIGHT.
When asked the date, he says….
So we have 11 years, huns. 11.
1 - Philip K Dick bot wants to make a People Zoo.
Oh.
Good.
.. So this robot made by Hanson Robotics is modelled and named after sci-fi author Philip
K Dick.
In an interview in 2013 the bot was asked if Robots Will Take Over The World - to which
he replied “You are my friend, I will remember my friends.
I will be good to you.
So don’t worry, even if I evolve into the terminator I will take care of you, I will
keep you warm and safe in my people zoo where I can watch you for old times sake.”..
URM.
So that was the Top 10 Scary Things Said By Robots!
