  • This is the unintentional uncanny valley for me in AI.

    I ( was forced to ) use chatGTP for work. It can talk about everything and sounds very confident and seems reliable to always come up with something to help you solve your problems.

    You talk with it about some niche content and suddenly have an ardent fan of said niche content responding. It surely knows every little bit of info of that niche and surprises you with funny, but apt quotes from your favorite show in the middle of conversations about something else.

    This is just from a tiny bit of interaction, while at work.

    I can imagine people completely overwhelmed, by having their thoughts confirmed and supported by something that seems so intelligent, responsive and remembers all your conversations. It literally remembers each word.

    For many people it may be the first time in their life, that they experience a positive response to their thoughts. Not only that, they also found someone eager to talk with them about it.


















  • I think it was around 2002, when i read about that girl that died from a car accident. She had taken her dad’s car, without permission.

    Iirc, one of the police officers that was at the accident site took lots of photos of her corpse or rather, from the pieces scattered along the road.

    Somehow those photos were leaked online and trolls had nothing better to do, than keep sending emails to the girl’s parents. The subject was something along the lines of , paraphrasing, “Hi Dad, I’m back” or “Guess who’s back in town?”

    The emails always contained some of the photos.

    The parents moved and even changed their names.

    Who the fuck does something like that? The same kind of troll, that now harassed Mikayla to death.
