As artificial intelligence begins to grow more and more creepy, tech companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Google are in a race to see which company can emerge as the creepiest of all. Based on a recent Google press event, looks like Google is winning the battle so far!
Google’s new creepy AI bot will make phone calls and book appointments for you, if interacting with other humans is too much of a struggle for you. Google demonstrated the new creep-o-matic system by having it call a live hair salon and book a haircut appointment.
The Google bot is programmed to mimic a human so well that the real person on the other end of the line had no idea she was talking to a machine that may one day feed her into a wood-chipper.
Keep in mind that this is simply the publicly-available version of its bot that Google is telling people about. Behind the scenes, Google is working on AI bots that can impersonate real people and mimic their voices. The things that the tech companies are working on in secret is the reason why Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently declared that artificial intelligence is the biggest existential threat to humanity.
Author Mark Dice shows us a demonstration of Google’s new creepy AI bot and then shows us the real goal of the tech companies as they attempt to “summon a demon” into the world that will ultimately take over and destroy mankind. We really wish were kidding when we wrote that sentence, but… just watch the video.
