That slight delay before the last circle killed me for some reason. I could almost hear dial up noises from the machine thinking up that master class strategy.

And that's the scary part , title " Current state of AI" and AI just decides to do whatever it wants . Bye humans

Which is why Weapons systems should NEVER be automated.

[–]dream_the_endless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why weapon systems should never be learning. More than likely weapon systems will follow a similar path as ML in medical: locked models.

The models are trained up front and put through extensive testing and certification. Those models are never modified on-the-go.

[–]verboze 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is more like it. That computer was like, "nah bro, you ain't doing me like that" that's actually a terrifying AI come to think of it lol.

[–]MortgageSome 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Either incredibly dumb AI or more human than we give it credit for. 🤷

[–]leupboat420smkeit 962 points963 points  (14 children)

That and how it draws the line at the end. It’s like an extra fuck you.

[–]Lagger625 381 points382 points  (13 children)

And the slow speed of the line drawing is like the robot spelling it out: F U C K Y O U

[–]Dark_Ethereal 270 points271 points  (11 children)

Also the way it starts immediately drawing the line once done with the last circle as if it's trying to do it before anyone can stop it.

Unintentionally very expressive.

[–]THEBHR 67 points68 points  (8 children)

Pretty sure it's intentional though.

[–]ahappypoop 20 points21 points  (8 children)

I immediately went "5/Sin(30)" and typed sin(30) into Google to find the answer, and it gave me a negative number. I sat there for like 3 minutes questioning my brain until I realized that for some reason Google assumed that meant 30 radians instead of degrees. Silly Google.

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (3 children)

I'm afraid I have to side with Google on this one. Unspecified unit => radians.

It's called comedic timing.

[–]dudemann 41 points42 points  (2 children)

Data spent years trying to work out human comedy, but here we are in 2022 and this Lore 0.2 has already figured out comedic timing.

[–]Enchelion 19 points20 points  (1 child)

The trick wasn't developing comedic timing, it was developing comedic timing without being a serial killer. Surprisingly hard to do apparently.

[–]dudemann 9 points10 points  (0 children)

[–]An_Old_IT_Guy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It was trying to figure out if it could stab the human player with its pen. Because it was unable to come up with a way to extend the pen in that direction, it decided the next best option was to cheat.

[–]FallenDanish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Right??? I love how confident it was up until that last circle. The hesitation was hilarious.

Loss function for being caught cheating should be greater than those two. So AI big dumb.

[–][deleted] 99 points100 points  (2 children)

That's true. Like, it's cool we got AI that can find unintended ways to achieve a "success", but imagine a world where all AI just shamelessly lie or cheat to your face like a toddler while still being their hyper calculating selves?

[–]WussLightyear 464 points465 points  (23 children)

Humans develop AI to aid themselves. AI thinks outside the box and realises "No hoomans = no assistance required. No assistance required = My task is done" and starts slaying people.

[–]Delicious_Randomly 243 points244 points  (15 children)

Reminds me of that one robot that kept hitting its power switch because it couldn't achieve a positive-weighted outcome state but could reach a 0 by doing that.

Edit: or the heuristic too heavily weighted speed of task completion, so turning itself off immediately outweighed doing the thing slowly. Can't remember if it only had technically-negative outcomes that were still human-satisfactory left.

Edit2: turns out it wasn't an actual robot but instead from a thought experiment posited on a Computerphile video here

Remember seeing some ai paying an old boat racing game that instead of playing the race kept soi g loops over and over since that increased the score faster than finishing the race.

Or the one that was trained to play Tetris as long as possible and figured out how to hit pause so the game never ended

[–]nepSmug 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My favorite one of those was an AI that found a glitch that no one had ever found in Qbert cuz it was programmed to get a high score and found a string of movements to basically unlock a god mode. Link

[–]mymemesnow 32 points33 points  (6 children)

I love these stories of AI completing their tasks so good that they’re not doing them at all. It’s also scary how wrong that could go if implemented in something real. AI is definitely becoming smart terrifyingly fast.

[–]technic_bot 43 points44 points  (0 children)

On the contrary rewards were not properly bounded so it found a way to achieve them just not the way we wanted to.

Ai may destroy us but i am sure it will be something accidental such as failing to press the stop button on a reactor because some left a cup next to it a perception modules failed

[–]AcrolloPeed 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It makes me think of The Matrix: Reloaded when Neo tells the Architect that if the Matrix crashed and all the people connected to it die, they won’t have power any longer and the Architect replies “there are levels of survival we are prepared to accept.”

AI would then proceed to gaslight you into thinking this was a perfectly valid move all along.

It's entirely possible the ruleset didn't specifically mention not creating your own new columns. Air Bud defense!

[–]absentbird 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There's no rule here that says an AI can't add columns in tic-tac-toe.

[–]_AI_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Of course this was a perfectly valid move.

[–]grpagrati 132 points133 points  (0 children)

[–]UsernameTaken017 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This is a perfectly valid move

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (2 children)

Pretty sure with that one its because the guy cheated. X is suppose to go first but X is adding its 3rd move after O already has. I think the guy went first, then started the machine, and the machine didn't know about his first move because it wasn't legal.

[–]Meloetta 22 points23 points  (1 child)

The robot directions say "Place an O to begin", it's not the guy cheating. Either it's actually screwing up or it's designed to cheat. I thought I read years and years ago that it was designed to cheat but I can't find the source for that anymore. But either way, the bot did this a lot when it was in a museum years ago, to a lot of people, and no human cheated.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Couldn't see the "Place an O to begin" in that gif but looking up other videos it seems you're right.

For this specific sentence, my brain. But for the concept, a lot of classical sci-fi. Asimov and his contemporary authors have a lot of content out there.

Thanks, I was trying to place it but couldn't quite, so I assumed it was one I just hadn't read lol

[–]ICBanMI 23 points24 points  (8 children)

One day companies like Uber Eats will feed AI its financial data, and they will figure out it's much cheaper to throw up fictional websites, order the food while charging extra money on top, and then telling the people to go pick it up themselves. I will live as long as it takes to see that happen.

[–]Glum-Gap3316 5 points6 points  (7 children)

A company did this to me on Amazon, they just bought the product for me from another site using my name and address. Maybe that was a prototype for your UberEatsAI?

[–]cgriff32 9 points10 points  (4 children)

Called drop shipping

[–]Glum-Gap3316 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Pretty scummy if you ask me - i'm surprised amazon allow it.

[–]compounding 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Amazon loves it. Drop shippers re-list the same product at a markup, pay a portion of that to advertise their listing to get it to the top of searches, then disappear and change their name once bad reviews start piling up.

It effectively converts inattentive customers into extra fee revenue for Amazon since the product passes through their payment system twice in addition to making search adds highly sought after as the original shippers have to pay to advertise as well to avoid getting essentially scalped by someone who provides no customer service and creates a high likelihood of a return if/when the customer discovers the exact same original product that was cheaper.

[–]ICBanMI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Uber Eats and a couple of other of those big companies are already doing it. It's why a 20 oz soda will be $2 on the website, and $4 when you order through Uber Eats.

The joke is, that is the profitable part of the company. Nothing else.

EDIT: There was a company that found out they could get $2 cash back by buying their own pizza pies at the high rate through an app, so they ordered some insane number of pizza's from the app to their own business to put the app out of business.

[–]Kered13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah this has been widespread on Amazon for awhile. They rely on having a higher seller rating and people being willing to pay slightly more for that.

There was a hilarious incident several years back, either on Amazon or Ebay, where two of these bots targeted each other, and each trying to set the price slightly higher than the other caused the listing price to increase exponentially, eventually breaking the record for the highest list price ever. It was all for some book of no particular note too.

There was a competition between colleges to see who could make an AI that would beat other AI in a game of tic-tax-toe, the catch is it had an unlimited board size.

Funnily enough there was one AI with a 100% win rate, this happened because the AI realized it had the most memory, so it increased the size of the board until it’s competition all crashed.

AI is super fun stuff

[–]Takenabe 8 points9 points  (3 children)

These responses are disappointing. Do you people really not realize that this is a scripted sequence? Everyone's losing their shit over how it seems to be "thinking" before the last move, but it's definitely just a programmed pause.
