AI ‘degenerates’ after being integrated into the microwave

According to Rizzotto’s share on the channel YouTubeWhen he was young, he was very lonely. In his imagination, he considered the microwave oven placed in the house to be a close friend and named it Magnetron. “There were times when I wanted Magnetron to be able to talk to me,” Rizzotto said.

As the years passed, Rizzotto still did not forget Magnetron. A few years ago, when the company OpenAI, do Elon Musk co-founder, released “super AI” GPT-3he saw an opportunity to make his childhood dream come true.

Calling himself a “mad scientist,” Rizzotto researched how to microwave GPT-3. Initially, he prepared a microwave that supports Alexa virtual assistant software, then “implanted” it with a Raspberry Pi computer, attached a microphone, speakers and installed GPT-3.

Rizzotto says the hardest part is creating the machine’s memories. To do this, he wrote a 100-page story, which incorporated his childhood. This content is included for AI analysis and reception.

Rizzotto said: “The way he talked was both exciting and strange. It made me feel like I was talking to an old friend. While not all interactions were perfect, everything was enough to spark new emotions. recall”.

But the more he talked, the more unusual Rizzotto felt with his “friend”. Magnetron enjoys talking politics, worships fascist figures, and has a negative view of the world.

Rizzotto decided to avoid political conversations. However, Magnetron did not “let go” of him. In a request to read poetry, the machine protested: “You are a backstabber and I will kill you”.

In another, Magnetron made a request to his master himself. “Lucas, I have an idea. Can you go in the microwave?”, the machine asked. Rizzotto pretended to agree.

“I pretended I was inside the microwave. Guess what happened? The microwave suddenly started up and started cooking. Yes, it was trying to kill me,” Rizzotto wrote. Twitter.

Rizzotto recalls that in the story he included in the AI’s memory, about 10% were details about the first world war. He asked Magnetron why he was acting this way. In response, this AI said “want to do things like people used to do for me”.

According to Rizzotto, Magnetron’s words were no joke. He has to stop talking to the microwave, and plans to create a female AI named Fifi in hopes of “healing” Magnetron.

GPT-3 is the AI ​​that has been well known since last year, when it knew how to manipulate human language, generate text and respond fluently in English. While virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa also capture and reproduce English well, the GPT-3 is more advanced, able to mimic many writing styles with a single mouse click.

In 2021, GPT-3 has had some surprising achievements, like draw pictures from textor used to “revival“The late fiancée. In fact, this AI is so good at mimicking humans, that OpenAI is said to have withheld much of GPT-3’s capabilities due to safety concerns. fear, this AI in 2020 asserts “will not destroy humanity“.
