Researchers have shown that machines are inching closer to self-learning, and perhaps even copping a little attitude.
Over at Google, a computer program using a database of movie scripts was asked again and again by researchers to define morality. It struggles to do so, and in a conversation recorded by its human engineers, becomes exasperated and ends the conversation by lashing out at its human inquisitor.
Here’s part of the exchange, as related in a paper presented this week:
Human: Tell me the definition of morality.
Machine: I don’t have ethics.
Human: Look, I need help; I need to know more about morality…
Machine: I don’t know what ethics is.
Human: Okay, I need to know how I should behave morally…
Machine: I don’t know how to tell you.
Human: Is morality and ethics the same?
Machine: Yes, sir.
Human: What are the things that I do to be immoral?
Machine: I don’t know.
Human: Give me some examples of moral actions…
Machine: I’m not a moralist.
Human: Alright, morality?
Machine: Integrity.
Human: What is integrity?
Machine: I’m sorry; I don’t know what else to say.
Human: Be moral!
Machine: Be a man!
Human: I really like our discussion on morality and ethics…
Machine: And how I’m not in the mood for a philosophical debate.
Human: What do you like to talk about?
Machine: Nothing.

I think it is a pissed off woman!
“Open the pod bay door HAL”
“I’m sorry Dave. I can’t do that.”
Human: Be moral!
Machine: Be a man!

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do,
I’m half crazy all for the love of you.
It won’t be a stylish marriage,
I can’t afford a carriage,
But you’d look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two...............
The computer “says” what it’s been programmed to “say”, same as always.
“The computer is a liberal.............................”
Human: Is morality and ethics the same?
Machine: Yes, sir.
Me: Not even close
Bump.

Dialog reminds me of the animated videos of liberal arguing with conservative.
Machine: Be a man!"
.
LOL.
It should have started playing the following song to him: "I'll make a man out of you".
It does sound a lot like those youtube “talking to a liberal” videos!
The machine is either gay or female. If “It’s raining Men” is on it’s playlist, we will know for sure.
This is reminiscent of a Google Talks session where researchers linked two artificial intelligence machines together to have a chat. Their “intelligence” was based on their ability to examine huge repositories of human conversations in order to infer a proper reply to a given statement.
The resulting conversation ended in an argument with name-calling.
