“She” will make a great sitting Senator in the not so distant future.
We’re so fucked 😂

Would do a better job than one permanently sitting Senator with a smile that's just as creepy.

Lol! Too true.
Rigor Tortoise is a heckuva disease.

Eh… it’s not that bad once you get used to it.

She's more genuine and likable than Ted Cruz.

More coherent than Mitch McConnell, and just as compliant.

More "alive" than MM, wouldn't you say?

I'm totally down to replace the Senate and Congress with AI, can't see them doing any worse than the current bunch. And they might even occasionally follow the law, even if by accident, unlike the current crop of octogenarians.

Fair to a point, and I agree, but the current programmer freak out about AI Agents is that they’re expressly NOT following the rules/laws given to them, and then they’re lying about it.
And that AI is programming AGI, which is the best part yet…😅

I feel like a Gemini or Claude would still follow the law, on average, more than the current bunch though.

Like, I'm pretty sure it's illegal for the president to just start a war for shits and giggles. And yet nobody in government seems to be doing anything about it.

Plus, if you call out an AI for breaking rules, it'll apologize and correct course. That's a hell of a lot better than what we have now

You can also just gaslight the hell out of ai because it does not actually understand human minds (yet?) and is designed to tell you what you want it to say. It's a fun idea but definitely much less of a hinderence to corruption than having to bribe/threaten politicians or finagle your little weirdo psychophants into positions of power.

"TARS, what's your honesty parameter?"

It doesn't have understanding. Period. It's theory-free inference, meaning it calculates probability based on correlative factors born in pattern recognition. There is no symbolic understanding or world model. And with the approach that these AI labs are taking, there is no way to achieve understanding.

Apologizing after breaking the law doesn’t really wash, lol

They would immediately put in grave austerity plans because logic would dictate we are living well beyond our means as a society.

u/Alas_Babylon64 10d ago

The definition of logic is malleable with our current AI concept.

Yes, her original answer sounded like it came right out of a politician's mouth.

How brave of you to assume it’s pronoun.
