RE: AskSteemit: If Steem became AI, what would it do?
AI scares me, not natural. I keep thinking about the movie i-robot with Will Smith where they take over everything. The Alexa not answering if information is sent to CIA is bothersome too. I wouldn't have that stuff in my home.
Already some of my electronics seem to have minds of their own, like my Roku picking other channels than what I picked, Hulu adding stuff to my watch list that I'd never watch & my computer changing how it connects to the internet on its own. I live alone so who's doing these things?
I mean, you're right... AI isn't natural... but neither is plastic, glass, bricks, etc... how do you choose which tools you like and what you don't like?
Alexa is scary, apparently it sends data back to Amazon over your wifi every 3 seconds.
Roku is probably just a bug, there might be a delay from when you press the button to it acting on that information...
Hulu is a little bit annoying the way it does that... I'm pretty sure it's the Hulu algorithm itself that's doing that for you.
