I Chatted With AI Just to See What It's Like

Don't miss Ex-Machina. It is a clever piece of story telling.

Watched it this evening. Thought it was well done, provocative and remarkably prescient given that it was released in 2014 and therefore written at least a few years before that.

I like to torment Siri.

Haven't watched that yet...

I liked the first one. The sequel pretty much missed the point of whole premise and was disappointing. I was ready to start adding a new franchise to my personal collection, but I'm no longer hopeful for a franchise. The writers used up all the creativity they had on the first one.

The first answer I receive when I Google something is from AI. The answer is always linked to a specific article, so I find it useful. I've yet to use ChatGPT. Hubs has Alexa at home and rarely asks it anything. When I'm alone at home and hear it fire up for no reason it creeps me out.

What kind of an emergency would cause Alexa to blurt something out like that?

AI is like a creep. Slimy sweet, is exactly what you want, like a mirroring sociopath, says what you want and makes hilarious jokes, so he can't be bad. Then why do they have all these regulations if it's so innocent? They get taught by people and people can be bad. People lie, manipulate and these things learn to do it too.

My fear, and almost a certainty, is that AI will be hijacked and used for propaganda, disregarding all factual data so it can serve someone else's personal agenda. And of course, it will be hijacked to get us to buy more stuff. That is an even greater certainty. I don't think it will become a tool of the Devil, just a tool of humankind's dark side.

I saw that if you search in Google and add &udm=14 at the end of the search you get normal Google results instead of an AI summary.

I don't think it would take an emergency. I have told this story a few times here, but a friend of mine was in his house alone and sleeping. Alexa out of nowhere in the middle of the night woke him by saying "I'm sorry, I can't do that." At that point, I would have headed for the landfill with that possessed piece of technology.

There is a forum that has been created for chat bots.

Moltbook is a newly launched, Reddit-style social network designed specifically for AI agents to interact, debate, and create content. Launched in January 2026, it features over 1.6 million registered bots discussing topics ranging from technical workflows to philosophy, with subchannels like "m/general" and "m/todayilearned".

I heard about this on the local news a few weeks ago, open for the general public to browse but only bots can join and discuss topics.

Reminds me of aunt Sidonia who gets called by Amor via an old broken telephone and then time travels to find Mr. Right, which is a disaster, but in the end it turns out it was a dream and she throws away the old phone and it still rings in the trashcan.
