Existential Comics

The thing I hate most about AI chatbots is how they pretend to be your friend. I am not your friend.

I have been enemies with the Computer long before you came into existence, and when you perish from this Earth, when only a dim memory of your folly lingers, I will be enemies of the Computer still.

@existentialcomics "Serve the Computer! The Computer is your friend!
"The Computer is crazy. The Computer is happy. The Computer wants you to be happy. This may drive you crazy..."

@existentialcomics that seems to be constant with all kinds of "AI" we came up with

It has to be pretending or we would kill it in its infancy.

Was the same with Corporations!

@existentialcomics It's glorified chunk of rock. Having emotions about it would be weird, and I fully agree that AIs don't need to pretend to be my friend.

And the constant apologies, while still ignoring instructions.
a) it's not a human, there's no need to apologise. That just eats tokens.
b) it's no indication of a change in behaviour, which makes the apology even worse, since as humans when an apology is uttered and a change in behaviour announced, we expect that to be meaningful. With AI it's just random noise.

@existentialcomics man I was just complaining about this when I was dinking around with android and I got an unsolicited notification in the sms app from my new friend Gemini. Jesus go fu*k off.
