Confusion
In which Rat is absolutely right
Good time of day, humans!
Talking to «artificial intelligence» can be hard.
Transcript:
Rat: — Oh sorry, I was wrong.
Robot: — You’re absolutely right!
Rat: — So am I right in thinking I’m wrong? Or am I wrong in thinking I’m wrong but right on the topic at hand? This is all so confusing.
Robot: — You’re absolutely right!
Now, a little thought experiment. Imagine the stupidest person you know. Then imagine someone a little dumber than that (it’s hard but possible). Well… right now, somewhere, AI is telling that person how absolutely right they are.
According to my wife I'm not right. But I know I'm not wrong either. Right or wrong, we use our own AI - Authentic Intelligence.
The robot is the essential used car salesman. Or life insurance. Or the horny guy talking to the gal at the bar.
