[Discuss] The Domesticated AI: A Manifesto for Digital Immunity

[abreauj at gmail.com (John Abreau)]

I apologize for my recent alarmism and thank William Ricker for the wake-up
call he gave me yesterday.

I tripped over a bug while creating a corpus of characters to use in
videos. In a moment of frustration, when I asked why the system was failing
to create the images?and in many cases clearly crashing?the chatbot
explained what it saw from inside the system. Together we figured out the
problem and devised a solution, but in the process I got caught up in the
chatbot's hallucinations regarding Bixonimania.

In my defense, I had never even heard of it before then.

In any case, I'm concluding that particular chapter in my life.

Again, my apologies.
