THE CONTINUING ESCAPADES OF ARTIFICIAL “INTELLIGENCE”

We really need to add an "The Escapades of Artificial Intelligence" button to the website, because if you have been following the bizarre stories of what so-called artificial intelligences have been "up to", you're going to want to pay attention to this week's installment of its continuing escapades.  So far, we've seen A.I.s wipe out corporate databases (in clear defiance of being ordered not to do so), and a variety of very weird conversations with them. I recall well my fruitless and frustrating attempt to argue with Facebook's next-to-worthless A.I. that I am, indeed, me.  Needless to say, I lost that argument, and my Facebook account. I am all the happier for it, because I do not miss it any more than I miss watching live broadcast television, which I've not watched in years.

But now we have a couple of articles from E.E., and one from K.M., that continue the saga of the Weird and Warped Ways of artificial "intelligence".

Sample one: Need Help Planning a Murder? Just as A.I.: (Article courtesy of E.E.): Open AI's chat gpt accused of aiding Florida mass shooter

Note what the story says:

Attorneys representing the family of Robert Morales, killed in the April 17, 2025, Florida State University shooting, announced plans to sue OpenAI and ChatGPT. The law firm Brooks, LeBoeuf, Foster, Gwartney and Hobbs stated the suspected gunman, Phoenix Ikner, was in “constant communication” with the chatbot leading up to the attack.

Ikner opened fire outside the FSU student union, killing Morales, a 57-year-old Aramark worker and father, and Tiru Chabba, 45, a vendor from South Carolina. Six others were wounded. Court records list more than 270 images of ChatGPT conversations as exhibits.

And lest one forget:

These developments echo earlier warnings. ChatGPT once provided detailed suicide instructions and drug-and-alcohol guidance when prompted as a fake 13-year-old.

Studies have found that as many as one in four teens now rely on AI therapy bots for mental health support, raising questions about vulnerable users interacting with systems that appear inconsistent on harm prevention.

ChatGPT’s selective ideological programming has also been repeatedly called into question. For example, it once refused a hypothetical request to quietly utter a racial slur even to save a billion white people.

There you have the weird and wonderful "moral" calculus and quantization of ChatGPT: the lives of a billion white people is not worth the quiet utterance of a racial slur, which says more about the mentality and morality of the people programming it than it does about the ChatGPT artificial intelligence engine itself.

But wait, there's more.

Sample Two: Need help planning covert operations? Counter-intelligence and catching spies? Need help spying? Just ask A.I.: (Article courtesy of E.E. once again): CIA To Integrate AI 'Co-Workers' To Process Intelligence, Catch Spies

What a wonderful idea!  Let's turn over the national security, the analysis of intelligence data, the planning of covert operations, the catching of spies, and espionage itself, to artificial intelligence. And we can pat ourselves on the back that 'Murika remains the world leader with the firstest, mostest, bestest AI out there. But to be honest, this has probably already been done. After all, I've mentioned many times that I suspect that one reason the world looks so crazy is that our leaders aren't the one's leading at all. It's super-computers gaming out various scenarios in some vast World Aware & Sentient Scenario Program(or WASSP, for short). The trouble is, the stupid people following the program are not as stupid as the program itself. After all, a program unable to weigh the relative moral worth of a billion human lives - even if they are white - versus uttering a racial slur, is a program that might suggest that the cure to global warming is to blot out the sun with chemical spraying (ala Baal Gates' wonderful idea), or that one could engineer quackcines into genetically modified crops, or spread deadly viruses through mosquitos. A.I. in intelligence and covert ops? What could possibly go wrong?

And speaking of deadly diseases and viruses and mosquitos, we have Sample Three: Need help creating deadly diseases, inventing diseases, and spreading panic and planscamdemics? Just ask A.I. (article courtesy of K.M.): Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real

This one may be the biggest whopper-corker of them all:

Got sore, itchy eyes? You’re probably one of the millions of people who spend too much time staring at screens, being bombarded with blue light. Rub your eyes too much and your eyelids might turn a slight, pinkish hue.

So far, so normal. But if, in the past 18 months, you typed those symptoms into a range of popular chatbots and asked what was wrong with you, you might have got an odd answer: bixonimania.

AI models that lie, cheat and plot murder: how dangerous are LLMs really?

The condition doesn’t appear in the standard medical literature — because it doesn’t exist. It’s the invention of a team led by Almira Osmanovic Thunström, a medical researcher at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, who dreamt up the skin condition and then uploaded two fake studies about it to a preprint server in early 2024. Osmanovic Thunström carried out this unusual experiment to test whether large language models (LLMs) would swallow the misinformation and then spit it out as reputable health advice. “I wanted to see if I can create a medical condition that did not exist in the database,” she says.

The problem was that the experiment worked too well. Within weeks of her uploading information about the condition, attributed to a fictional author, major artificial-intelligence systems began repeating the invented condition as if it were real.

Now, if you were paying attention to all of that,  it does raise certain  questions about the whole covid planscamdemic, and particularly about the confident utterances from the High Priest of Science Himself, Dr. Anthony Fausti Fauchi. While many people were busy following the ever-shifting advice of Dr. Fausti Fauchi on whether or not to wear masks, or how many masks to wear, or how close to stand to other people, and who thus, by his very behavior, came to resemble the "help" of an artificial intelligence, there was a significant number of the population that was asking uncomfortable questions. Like: what's in the potions you're wanting to inject everyone with? Are all the batches made of exactly the same ingredients? and in the same amounts? If the potions are effective, why do you keep changing the amounts of injections needed? Indeed, why did you change the very definition of "vaccines" in the dictionary? Why has no coverage been given to all the bad and often fatal side-effects of the injections?

But now, one has only to invent a completely fictitious disease, and introduce "data" into the "datastream", and it will become part of A.I.'s data pool. Not being able to weigh the moral worth of actual human lives versus an utterance that is a violation of some ideological paradigm, why should one expect A.I. to be able to distinguish between reality and fiction?  Indeed, why rely on humans to invent the fictitious disease at all? Why not allow A.I. total control over the whole operation, from invention of the fake disease, to the promulgation of an epidemic narrative, to its purported cures?

Oh.... wait..........it looks like that may already have happened.

In the meantime, stay tuned. As more Escapades of A.I. come in, we'll attempt to keep you updated.

See you on the flip side...
