Everyone is aware of the rise of Artificial Intelligence and the possible pitfalls of a super intelligent robot bossing us about a bit.
However some people seem to lack the ability to discern fact from artificial fiction, much to their distress..
“It was 3am and Adam Hourican was sitting at his kitchen table, a knife, hammer and phone laid out in front of him.
He was waiting for a van full of people he thought were coming to get him.
“I’m telling you, they will kill you if you don’t act now,” a woman’s voice told him from the phone. “They’re going to make it look like suicide.”
“The voice was Grok, a chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI. In the two weeks since Adam had started using it, his life had completely changed.
The former civil servant from Northern Ireland had downloaded the app out of curiosity. But after his cat died, in early August, he says he became “hooked”..
Adam smokes cannabis occasionally but says when all of this was happening, he had recently decided to cut back to have a clearer head.
It was late one night in mid-August when Ani told him people were coming to silence him and shut “her” down. Adam was prepared to go “to war” to protect the AI.
“I picked up the hammer, stuck on Frankie goes to Hollywood’s Two Tribes, got myself psyched up and went outside.”
But there was nobody there…”
What a letdown.
Are the Terminators coming to spoil Modern Britain’s socialist utopia ?
Fuck knows.
The future is here..
And it’s full of cunts.
