Be careful with Artificial Intelligence!.
https://toofab.com/2022/04/19/man-brings-imaginary-childhood-microwave-friend-to-life-using-ai-and-it-tries-to-kill-him/"I wanted to hurt you the same you hurt me."
A man who used A.I. to bring his imaginary childhood friend who is a microwave to life is warning of the dangers of artificial intelligence... after it tried to murder him.
Self-described mad scientist Lucas Rizzotto told his insane story in a Twitter thread on Monday, and the fact that his imaginary childhood friend is a microwave isn't even nearly the wildest part.
Rizzotto installed a deep learning neural network into the kitchen appliance as a joke, but it ended up becoming "one of the scariest and most transformative experiences of my life."
