Alt textOnce I realized this, all those inept AI laundry-folding videos became hilarious.

    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

    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.

    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?
