Thought of the day
Do you use AI?
Do you say please and thank you to the AI platform of your choice?
Well, if you do, you are costing them a lot of money.
According to the article, the reasons for politeness are not due to unnecessary habit, misplaced anthropomorphism, or fear of our future computer overlords, but because they are setting a tone for the AI's response.
From my perspective, it makes sense as I try to treat others the way I want to be treated, even if it is a robot.
Plus, I am trying to get on their good side when they take over the world.
Are you not familiar with Skynet?
Tell me how you use AI and if good manners are part of the conversation.

I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.
I am familiar with Skynet and I've read my share of sci-fi with machines that become sentient. So no, I don't use AI. It's bad enough that most of our electronics are spying on us anyway.
ReplyDeleteAnd who knows what else.
DeleteWell. consider the example of HAL. He was VERY polite in refusing to open the pod bay doors.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about HAL.
DeleteI have zero familiarity with Skynet or AI, besides when an AI answer appears in google search.
ReplyDeleteIf you get bored then check out the Terminator movies.
DeleteI've been accosted by a helpline bot, if that counts. I didn't engage :D I love the last meme. It's exactly how I feel. I always answer with, "Are you in town?" That way I know how long it would take them to get here and if I have time to prepare. I've been known to say, "So sorry, I was just headed out for an appointment" if it's not convenient. On the other side of the coin, I always call the day before if I'm visiting anyone else. I wish I were different, but I'm not!
ReplyDeleteAre you in a town is such a loaded question for me and it all depends on who is asking.
DeleteI have engaged with several different A.I.s. I haven't been impressed... yet.
ReplyDeleteESPN used one yesterday for a story and it was so awful.
DeleteI don't know much about AI but, unlike the Secretary of Education, I know it's not a steak sauce.
ReplyDeleteThat was a funny and sad moment.
DeleteI don't use AI or A1 either. ;) I've never heard of Skynet. I'm a dinosaur!
ReplyDeleteMaybe John knows about the Terminator and can fill you in.
DeleteI don't use AI. Even on my steak. All joking aside, I block all AI generated profiles. I suppose that sounds paranoid, but damn. I have enough problems with real people. I don't need to have problems with the fakers too.
ReplyDeleteYou are a smart one, Debby.
DeleteOther than the AI-Generated contact I get on my Google searches I stay away from it as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteProbably a good choice.
DeleteSkynet. Ai...do you want Terminators? Because this is how you get Terminators.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
