“Thank you, car.”
This is not the last time we will be hearing that.
- lallysingh 9y agoI'm happy to see people do that. And thank Alexa or Google Now when they get what they want. Otherwise I'm afraid that a degraded social status for conversational AIs will result in a tiered status system that will eventually include some people. Not that it doesn't happen now, but I'd prefer to have the trend avoid further tiering.

- ghostbrainalpha 9y agoExactly. I look forward to being told "Thank you human" when the robot overlords are finished extracting my human electricity to power their batteries.
- gt_ 9y agoI hesitate to expect it will have that exact effect, mainly because it will first be implemented in advertising. Unless it has to be said or humans learn the AI will be nicer to them for saying it, I would mostly expect this to be popularized by ad campaigns like this one. Your fears are inevitabilities as long as AI is used for data mining people’s private lives and advertising, but the public will continue misfiring when they look for who to blame.
