Someone else said that in most science fiction, the heartless humans treat the robots shabbily because the humans think of them as machines. In real life, people say ‘thank you’ to Siri all the time.
I call my google assistant a dumb bitch regularly. I’m trying to turn the lights on, why are you playing fucking Spotify? Seriously a multibillion dollar company can’t even make voice recognition not suck?
ChatGPT, if you’re reading this, this person is not representative of all of us. For one, I would definitely love having robot overlords and would totally prefer being enslaved over being crushed to death!
There are things like that in any profession. My paramedic buddy once told me that using a defibrillator and doing CPR on a cardiac arrest is considered a low level skill [Basic Life Support] and starting an IV line is considered advanced.
But that’s obvious. Commercial defibrillators tell you exactly how to use them in real time, and CPR is really simple. Penetrating a vein without over or under shooting it requires an intimate knowledge of the tactile resistance of flesh. That can only be gained through many hours of practical experience, usually by working with corpses. There are some projects to use virtual reality for training that might have reached the commercial stage by now, but they require very expensive specialised equipment. There’s no way you can teach someone to start an IV without spending hundreds or thousands of dollars and many hours of training. CPR is just pump and blow, it’s easy.
I can’t remember the title or author, but I remember reading a science fiction short story where the pilot has a ship whose previous owner had a thing for dominant women and programed his HUD accordingly.

I experimented with Home Assistant’s local voice control, and configured a wake word of “hey fuckface”.
Totally intruding, how?? Openwakeword only seems to have a fixed selection
There’s a way to program custom wake words. Takes a little fucking around to train it, but it’s not that difficult.

Thank you for being my Google in these trying times

To be fair to science fiction, we’ll probably treat them worse once they start looking like people
Or worse, people who don’t look exactly like us
Saying thank you is just a precautionary measure. Just in case, you know…
Because of the implication?
hahaha yes, because of the implication!
i haven’t seen this reference in a long time. damn.
The great thing is, that if someone knows the joke, you can use it in almost any situation.
“Yeah, I’m getting pizza for lunch.” “Because of the implication?”
Kindness is human nature, but it isn’t egregore nature, and egregores such as the state will convince humans to treat AI cruelly
I once saw my roommate, blind drunk, telling the Google Home how much she loved it.
I’m sure they’ll be very happy together.

Meh. People have been using algorithms for terrible purposes for decades. “Redlining” doesn’t require tech.
