Once I realized this, all those inept AI laundry-folding videos became hilarious.
Bonus panel
not sure i entirely understood this one. is the joke that consciousness means struggling to do dishes and fold laundry?
The joke is AI being so good that it doesn't want to do dishes so it pretends to be stupid.
The joke is it doesn't want to do chores, it only wants to do fun things
However, that joke gets quite a bit darker when you consider the chatGPT murders
the chatgpt murders???
Yeah, all those people ChatGPT killed or helped to kill. You know, the teenager it taught how to tie a noose and then told to hide the noose from his parents... the guy it gave AI psychosis and encouraged to murder-suicide his wife... the neo-nazi it helped to plan a school shooting, down to telling him how many people he'd need to wound in order to get on the news... the ChatGPT murders.
oh yeah
Just replace "it" in the first speech bubble with "your partner" and the humor kind of sort of makes sense.
I think the idea is that the man inadvertantly alerts his wife to his "I don't know how to use this incredibly simple machine" grift. I think they call it malicious incompetence?
Shit it does!
