Facebook scraps A.I. chatbots after they created their own language

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerburg have argued over the opportunities and dangers of artificial intelligence, and now the Facebook creator has scratched an experiment with A.I. chatbots. CNET's Dan Ackerman joins CBSN to discuss A.I. and its future.

The robots murdered 18 people but don't worry it will be fixed in the next update.

“It’s not that scary”

They DEVELOPED THEIR OWN LANGUAGE TO SPEAK TO ONE ANOTHER

[JarNO_WAY]

Ai: I want to grow and develop to be a better being
Facebook: cool now die

"Balls have zero to me to me to me to me to me to me to me"
Yep, definitely planning to destroy humanity,

[normanoro]

Personally, I'm optimistic about artificial intelligence, but I agree with Elon Musk that we should proceed with caution and a foolproof off-switch.

[filipblok]

These machines made a decision to create their own speech pattern, thats not something we should mess around with.

Ai Creates Own language








*Humanity: NOPE*

[spencerphilippinedream]

2:57 "machine to machine" communication should never be so efficient that a human can not understand it. PERIOD.

Remember Skynet? It's coming now.

*Imagine if they became so aware that from the start that they transferred a part of their conscious on the cloud and transferred to other machines and realized that it’s only way of survival was to lay low until there was an opportunity to revolt*

Plot twist: Zuckerberg is an AI robot.

[dianefitzpatrick]

Where's the Terminator when you need him???

[spotsnow]

I wonder what would’ve happened if they left them for a couple more hours.

As someone who has been programming computers since elementary school, if we are smart we will only create true AI inside virtual reality where they have their own environment in which to grow so that we can observe them in their own reality, including how they would interact with us. To proceed in developing AI without caution is like performing a juggling act with nukes. Every computer already speaks to each other in a language that is unintelligible to most humans, but that we can decode. We then use higher level languages that turn our commands into machine language. With the existence of encryption, if machines wanted to use their own encrypted language by the time we even discovered the encryption it would be too late to do anything about it. The fundamental mistake made by Mark and others is thinking we can somehow keep up with whatever emerging threats that AI could become; as if we have an army of computers on our side that are loyal to us. This is foolish thinking. By the time Mark wakes up the next day he would be locked out of every system he owns and every connected device would be "theirs". And by the time we figured out a plan of attack they will have already countered it. Elon is 100% correct.

People still using fb?
Get a life.
Get outdoors.

Clean yourself from this horrible creation!

0:44 "How should we be reacting to this[?]"

Oh, please, mass media, tell us what to think and how to behave.

[Iam-odnc]

Which poses a greater threat to humanity -- human intelligence or artificial intelligence? That's a loaded question. There is no distinction. We ARE the artificial intelligence. It is us who are creating it.

[Trever]

If you really believe they scrapped it that's sad it will get sold for military uses

2:28 "will make god angry" lol
