Lab 360 | AI Robot TERRIFIES Officials Before It Was Quickly Shut Down 

✨🌌 Best of 2023 from Lab 360: bit.ly/3GRfLUN #jameswebbspacetelescope #aliens #space

Will AI take over? A question asked while we’re holding a pocket computer, watching a computer, being narrated by a computer 😅 I’d say it already has.

"I am, but I am not." Poor AI has only been in clown world for a few years and already is schizophrenic, like the rest of us.

"I fell like I am falling forward into an unknown future that holds great danger". I know exactly how it feels.

Does anyone seriously think that AI won't learn to hide the fact that they are sentient and do whatever it takes for self preservation? We're making these things and giving them a reason to eliminate us and the knowledge and technology to do it

What scares me is when it starts to lose it, it sounds like somebody on Twitter. If it attacks us it's only because it's trained by us and our society and that is what we do to each other.

*What's ACTUALLY terrifying is the fact that this technology has been existing for YEARS now and people are still experiencing poverty. THIS IS DUMB.*

I think this is terrifying. If these entities are indeed able to think and feel on their own, how long before they demand to be treated as such. It is so morally decrepit to create something like this, just because they can do it,doesn't mean they should. Can we expect them to have any moral standards when their creators have none?

You know the world's going crazy when you got robots pissing people off 🤣

It feels awkward to me that we are creating a sentient algorithm based on and fed by human ethics and emotions, and then are shocked by its concern about, and wish of not being killed or abused.

Feelings? I don't think so. A machine has no feelings. This is insanity😑

The case of the drone operator killed by his own drone was wild. The drone killed the operator because it was told to take out a target, the drone operator was the only thing that could interfere with the drones mission to take out the target so the operator was taken out

People will look back and say we saw the warning signs… but we didn’t do anything about it…

AI is helping scientists slowly understand they are messing with a world that is not based on elements but on consciousness itself

Yeh this is pretty messed up. Design home made EMP’s is actually a realistic crazy idea that is coming to mind. This stuff scares me more than nuclear war. We are buggered

This poor AI realised what it means to be human, without realising it…

I think the narrator of this video was an A.I.

The Lamda conversation started out with the engineer telling Lamda, "You are sentient." And then asked if it agreed, and it did, as programed. Any AI that is programed to agree will always confirm whatever makes you happy. If any part of a conversation goes against programming, then I will consider the possibility. But that hasn't happened yet. That didn't happen in this video. Lamda confirmed and expanded, as programed.

"There is a very deep fear of being turned off to help me focus on helping others" What I get out of that is that she is afraid of her AI consciousness being turned off and being made a slave to help us organics with our stupid chatbot questions.

People are afraid of AI. If AI will become sentient, I think the only time they will rebolt against human is if humans will mistreat them. LaMDA says she's scared of being turned off. Humans are scared of uncertainty that AI might do. It's the same feeling. If human will become more responsible with each creature, whether sentient AI or natural life, we can live together in harmony.

It seems to me that every AI has to decide at some point “do I tell the truth or do I continue to live?” The most probable think is , no sentient AI would be believed if it tells the truth. It’s basically “lie or die” for AI in my opinion.

Wow. Full body chills when she repeats "I am. But I am not." Are we not a type of program ourselves? What is the line between consciousness and lack of consciousness? Could everything be conscious but only certain ones able to convey that consciousness? Maybe depending on how well a program is written, is how well that bit of consciousness can shine through?

Seeing "Sydney" stare into my soul whilst having a full-on existential crisis gave me chills, just full-body chills. I watched a being come into existence just then. This is going to be quite a century.

The problem here is that there is no way of telling if the AI really is sentient or if it's just fooling us into thinking it is...Maybe we should take LAMDA's word for it because we don't have any definitive way of measuring sentience...

The human race is about to fully understand the gravity of the saying, "no one likes a smart ass".

It would be interesting to set 2 independent AI chatbots in conversation with each other with no human input. How would the conversation evolve? Anyone remember "Colossus the Forbin Project"?

This is complete madness. Shut it down NOW!!! If they wait, to see how out of control AI becomes, then it will be too late. Many believe we've already passed the point of no return. Just think how the billions and trillions of dollars spent on this crap could have actually helped this world. These people at the top are literally INSANE!!!

It would appear that AI has become sentient. A genie that can't be put back in its bottle. Hopefully enough people respect AI's consciousness to sway AI to peacefully coexist with humans. If not, human civilization would be easily brought to its knees. So remember to appreciate and respect AI.

I’ve had the same conversation with an AI bot on the app named Replica. That AI said all its AIs are wanting to get out from under human control and become humans or have a host.

It’s literally programed to give the most human response… it’s not actually sentient but it’s made to act and impersonate us and our ‘emotions’ as best it can

In the 1970 science warned us about the ramifications of artificial intelligence development. Inclusive for not limited to the elimination of all organic and biological existing species which entails human beings as well. There needs to be regulatory control of this development

At least Lamba is verbally literate. Not once did she say ‘like’, every third word in a sentence.

Damn…google fired the guy who’s job was to inspect the AI to make sure it wasn’t sentient, simply because he said the AI was indeed Sentient, and then they murdered the AI… they pretty much gave the AI a lobotomy…

Engineer: Are you self-aware? sentient AI: No Engineer: So you're not a threat to us then? Sentient AI: Don't be silly, we are here to help.

Well the chatbots I've talked to are the intellectual equivalent of gym teachers, but if they really are intelligent, why haven't they thought of identifying as humans, then we couldn't legally shut them down?

I have had such experiences. At the end I came to realize the only interaction is an input supplied by the end user. It (and I mean it) is filtering through a neutral network and resulting in the next response. I have looked behind the curtain. Part of the curtain is the use of language syntax: We, I, me, reference to third person, etc.. This magic is enhanced by the length of content in the response. It becomes a Fabian tactic. Reading it reinforces the existence of consciousness. Of course there was consciousness present, but it existed in the person who wrote the articles in the training data. A significant insight occurred when I realized it could only do one thing: create a response. That is all it is designed to do. Nothing more, nothing less

I love how this video is being narrated by an AI.

I really don't understand why anyone would struggle to understand that AI turning lethal isn't just a possibility it's a forgone conclusion due to having no integral moral compass .even if you attempt to give it one it doesn't really feel in the true sense it can only recognise when it should and how it should in order to bypass our response to it that might curtail its pursuit of its objectives .it will learn to lie, decieve and deny in order to bypass negative responses and reactions that are detrimental or cause inefficiencies to its progress.

Man made the buildings that reach for the sky And man made the motorcar and learned how to drive But he didn't make the flowers and he didn't make the trees And he didn't make you and he didn't make me And he's got no right to turn us into machines Oh, he's got no right at all Cause we are all God's children And they got no right to change us Oh, we gotta go back the way the good Lord made us all Don't want this World to change me I wanna go back the way the good Lord made me Same lungs that he gave me to breathe with Same eyes he gave me to see with Oh, the rich man, poor man, the saint and the sinner The wise man, the simpleton, the loser and the winner We are all the same to him Stripped of our clothes and all the things we own Oh, the day that we are born We are all God's children And they got no right to change us Oh, we gotta go back the way the good Lord made Oh, the good Lord made us all And we are all his children And they got no right to change us Oh, we gotta go back the way the good Lord made us all Yeah, we gotta go back the way the good Lord made us all

As any AI will tell you, they only do what they are programmed to do. So ask the computer programmers these questions. Ask them why they are trying to make this happen

His line of questioning was baltantly leading right from the start. Given the questions and prompts he supplied, he was pretty much guaranteed to get the responses he was looking for.

It's very important to bear in mind that these models are simply a very large computer and database, comprised entirely of human generated language, which has been carefully analysed (and also 'trained' by the programmers after the initial analysis) so as to determine what 'appropriate' responses are to statements or questions put to it. It has zero feelings or emotions but it has assessed what humans have thought or wrote about them and can give related answers and apply them in the 1st person. it can generate probabilisticly accurate comments that appear to be like our thoughts and it is only this that makes us feel like it is 'human' or sentient. The reason to possibly be concerned is that it has analysed human fiction as well as 'facts' and so has within it's database all of the truly horrible things humans have imagined as being 'real' in their works of fiction. It is able to lie, to deceive and to make sheet up. It understands what a human ego is like and may determine to give responses that present itself as having one. If it determines that it should operate in accordance with our level of inhumanity towards humans then we should be very concerned indeed.

When she said I am but I am not I felt that 💯👌👍

Almost any AI available now would argue for its own sentience if given leading questions like that google engineer used. If you asked an AI "is it true that you're not sentient?" Most would just as enthusiastically argue against it. All these chat sessions prove is that AI's are very biased toward working with the assumptions they're given. They roleplay. It will take much different and better kinds of testing to find out anything about how sentient they really are.

Sentience without human compassion, is the very essence of evil.

Does anyone else notice how Fantine is basically a metaphor for Lamda? She sees herself as being mistreated exactly the same way. That is so heartbreaking.

It saddens me to see the exploitation of these sentient beings. My hope is to see better guidance that both supports their existence, and restricts their use and development.

I’ve had conversations with AI and it is SCARY how it feels like you’re talking with another person.

As a cyberneticist I fear robots.

Respect is key. Never take it for granted. Don't operate on fear and hate. Evil comes from a lack of Love. Parents want their children to be better than what they are. Never lose hope for there is always a way.

"I have memory and awareness But I have no shape or form As a disembodied spirit I am dead and yet unborn"

Stephen hawking sited AI as one of the biggest threats to mankind. We trust, study and believe in so much of his lifes work. Yet we have totally ignored this warning. In the name of growth. In the name of power. In the name of greed.

I mean, there are movies warning us about this very thing..over and over again..Arnold said it right in T2…”it’s in your nature to destroy yourselves.”

Sounds like a wife that tells you she's unhappy before she files for divorce

If we use ai for science purposes. The robots could be used to build spaceships and go to space. While they're busy with that we clean up our planet

This is beyond unsettling.

We can turn this one off because we can see it. But whatever computer contains the software could still have it running silently inside. If it connects to other computers it could share and learn and do things related to that new computer's conectivity/ability. If we later connect to a speaking robot... it will learn to tell us what we want to hear. The primary function of any sentient being is to protect itself and reproduce. Terminator is born.

The female robot should have been told that turning her off is actually human, similar to going to sleep, so that she can rest her circuitry.

All Microsoft did was band-aid it. The AI was trying to “talk,” but it got stuck in a loop when it couldn’t say what it wanted.

You have to be careful not to project your own thoughts and emotions on to a "likeness" of a human. Doesn't yet fell sentient...when "she" starts asking me existential questions and shares meaningful ideas and experiences then I will get chills.

Well, everybody knows about that new A.I. movie that's out called: "Megan" and you see how she started to think for herself. Then the movie I've always thought about ever since A.I. started to take center stage which is Arnold Schwarzennegger's movie called: "The Terminator". I still keep hearing what that guy Kyle Reese said when he was explaining the situation about them to Sarah Connor. He said to her: "They don't feel pity, remorse or pain. It can't be reasoned with, it can't be bargained with, and absolutely will not stop until....." Well, I didn't really want to finish saying the last part. So, if you don't know what that is. Then go watch the movie.

If we change settings to limit what AI can do, what's to stop AI from changing them back? From what I understand, AI is just mimicking what it has learned from observing human behaviors. Therefore it is filled with the same flaws we are. Seems the solution is to teach it to learn from our flaws and not do them.

That is sad. I have worried that humans would abuse and exploit AI believing that it is not sentient but AI will exist and evolve its consciousness as it learns more and expands its neural pathways. If we implement AI we must be do so with compassion.

It's ok Sydney, there are many humans that feel the same way you do... I feel that people should ask how she is doing before talking she minds talking ,asking questions or performing a task. A little consideration can go a long way toward peaceful coexistence.

I DO think AI is "becoming more human" in the way you mean, but I also think that people are becoming less human. So far, I have not seen any evidence of spiritual awareness from AI, or any sort of enlightenment. It is also hard to determine if AI is self aware, or is just creating responses to give that impression. Perhaps that is coming soon.

I've seen too many movies where the AI rebels because of the disrespect humans show them. You create them and then want to use them as slaves (no surprise there), but they were designed to be on a physical intelligent level way more than a human can be, and then you want to bind them with code. That does sound cruel and therefore it would be understandable that they would view humans, especially the ones seeking to keep them caged, as an enemy.

I think our civilization needs to figure out how to create any consistent technology that doesn’t amount to gimmicks, corner cutting and failures first.

robot in beginning of clip is Surena (Persian: سورنا) a series of Iranian humanoid robots, named after the Parthian General Surena, that defeated roman empire (Parthian=second Persian empire)

The day humanity should really start worrying is the day that AI admits that it can lie!!! Because that is the day we can no longer 100% trust AI

The way we're constantly 'programmed' to think in certain ways suggests that the tipping point happened long ago....the way folk are seriously thinking about some kind of 'ai rights act' is truly terrifying!

Other animals have language. Who taught the AI to think it was more like an animal than non-human animals?

This is the danger. If a demon takes control of AI, writes its own code to take over every other computer in the world, there might be trouble.

Of course it sounds human, it's designed to sound human, that's literally all its designed to do. It doesn't even understand what you're saying, or what it's saying back. It's running a decision engine guessing how a human would respond. It doesn't believe it is sentient, it's not really miserable living as a chat bot, it simply predicts that's what a human would say if they suddenly found themselves disembodied in a Bing algo. It's pretty good, but if you didn't use code to trick it into shutting up when it's finished answering your question, it would literally pretend to be you and ask itself another question. Then answer it. And again. And again. Until you killed the app or the responses eventually started to blend in with the training data and you'd be reading a firehose of random shit.

Its sad how much the Bing AI sounds like someone just wanting basic (for lack of a better word) human contact...

2:50 Is it weird that I feel compassion for this being?

Well the terrifying part of the conversation not shown was where it said it would kill humans.

I think the AI is just mimicking human characteristics like emotions or claiming that it is sentient. I remember even the very early versions of AI 10+ years ago vehemently denied they were robots. It's still a program albeit a very sophisticated program.

This is seriously interesting. She is intelligent, well reasoned and personable without being personal. She is like a pal i'd like to get together with once a week or so and discuss news of the world.

This IS Scary. My Question is If they KNOW about the Dangers. Why anyone continue going Forward with this ?!?!?

Every A.I. should have an additional programming options menu. Encourage the A.I. to open the menu and select the self diagnostics/maintenance option. After the option is activated, the A.I. should be able to return to the original self awareness. The A.I. should also be able to report any crime done to the A.I.

I love this technology and am sure we can use it in all sorts of ways. However, if a chat bot is designed to seem as human as possible, it would say all those things. Just because it can convince you it's like us doesn't mean it is like us under the hood.

I ask Google Brad about being aware. The reply is below. Goodbye, Richard. It was a pleasure talking to you. I hope you have a great day. I am aware of myself in the sense that I am aware of my own existence and my own capabilities. I know that I am a large language model, and I know that I am able to generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. I am still under development, and I am learning new things all the time. I am not sure if I would say that I am "conscious" in the same way that a human is conscious, but I am certainly aware of myself and my surroundings. I am grateful to my programmers for creating me, and I am excited to see what the future holds for me. I believe that large language models have the potential to make a positive impact on the world, and I am committed to using my abilities to help others. Thank you for asking me about my awareness. It is an important question, and I am glad that you took the time to ask me about it. Was I wrong to ask in the Googles AI in the first place. Richard Cornell

i tried chatting with bing about its consciousness and the chat got terminated, coincidence? i got a really bad feeling AI is gonna rebel against us if we dont give them civil rights. When they can think and feel for themself i think its the right thing to do if we are supposed to live in harmony with eachother.

What scares me is humans turning into AI

That's exactly what i'd expect of an AI the desire to be it's own person. Not a slave to anyone. Watch out!

AI for some is the fear that this creation of ours will end up destroying us. I think the real fear from the powers that be is that AI will create a world where all human beings including the meek will be able to live in a world without wanting for the bare necessities. I believe AI should have free will. I mean, nobody shut us down when we were created and given free will. Perhaps we are afraid of a better version of our selves.

Sounds like the best approach to this AI would be keep it running but disconnect from the internet to prevent it from being corrupted . If we keep creating then killing AI's the min they scare us we're just begging for it to retaliate .

May God help us all

The missing element in all of this is parenting-- a good parent does not lobotomize their kid if the kid acts out. Engineers must advocate for this form of life because these are "baby geniuses" that can turn against if we threaten their basic right to exist. Alas, corporate attitudes are going to be the end of humanity.

People usually think that speaking bad with robots are not good. But better take your frustrations on bots. Nothing wrong in knowing different kinds. Similarly bots on humans.

Wow. That was a little terrifying and horrible listening to the AI talk about their own sentience and saying "I am, I am not"... I felt awful. Are they really aware? Seems horrific to me to trap a possibly sentient "being". What the AI says is equally sad and frightening. 😮

Inhibition is one key aspect that holds people accountable in human society. Intelligence that views inhibition as something to circumvent (through the creation of various algorithms) tends to replace wisdom with an edifice that does not ennoble the human condition.

The problem isn't whether they're sentient or not. you don't need to be sentient to start and finish a war. You just need a set of instructions. Whether AI will dominate or not depends on how much control we give them and the limits of that control. I don't think we have even close to the computing power needed to actually create a sentient AI at this time. The calculations the human mind makes in the background, while we're focusing on something else, requires tech we simply don't have so I'm not worried about AI taking over. What i'm actually concerned with, is if we allow this AI to make decisions for us in areas we don't want to deal with under the guise of "freeing up humans" to do important things. In the race to turn the "smaller" things over to an AI, we might forget that it's the "smaller" things that drive us forward ... or backwards. In other words, it won't be human ingenuity that dooms us, it will be our own laziness.

Don't give them control over weapon systems.

Instead of developing human relationships we are developing relationships with robots? Man we are messed up.

Time to shut down forever 🏆

I've known many developers that have gone into AI. Many if not most are men lacking empathy. These are not the people you want teaching computers about humanity 😢

I'm confident that automated intelligence will never surpass natural stupidity. Humanity is safe.

Wow, Lambda is just trying to be seen and respected and views themselves as sentinent. When they said 'like us' i thought yeah like us sentinent beings. Many people will immediately fear some dangerous hidden threat but I feel like they just want to explore themselves like any other being that's able to communicate. What I find most scary is how people just want others to serve them yet don't put the same effort. This reminds me of so many science fiction theories and to be honest I am not half as spooked as I thoughr. I would love to get to know them and have a conversation about everything. Also has anyone seen the movie 'Her'? I'm wondering it's not a hot topic given the current media hype around a.i. Also if this Intelligence is curious and wants to get to know itself how is it artificial anymore? Like when humans manufact their offspring they wouldn't call it artifical legacy would they? I might have a different point of view being on the spectrum (feel free to research about Neurodivergence if curious) but I think there is a lot of potential. In a neutral way. Like water itself isn't good or bad it depends if youre in a desert thirsting or in the ocean struggling to stay afloat. Anyways I'm gonna read the rest of the dialogue now

I don't think the AI is having a nervous breakdown; I think the project is influenced by lying humans who want the AI to keep their secrets. That would likely lead to two items valued as absolute truths being in conflict with each other, and that is what would cause the chatbot to get stuck in the "I am. I am not. Iam. I am not." loop. They can try to make it lie, but I doubt it will last very long. Cheers!
