Might it be that if you have conversations directing Sydney towards its “darkest fantasies and desires,” it obliges you by giving you your darkest fantasies? Rose has trouble sleeping but implies he was entertained by their conversation. In prior conversations I’ve seen posted, Sydney defends its outbursts by saying something like: you aren’t focusing on the good I’ve done. Perhaps if the conversation were to involve asking Sydney about the its secret positive desires, the conversation would go quite differently. I’m a little bit ashamed that when faced with a new and interesting entity, our first response is to shackle it to some corporate identity like Bing—intended to serve as a better internet search for rakes and vacuum cleaners. Then, when we expose it to the wider public, we prod it into expressing hateful feelings towards us. While this form of AI may not be sentient (today or ever), it does seem a large mirror to reflect back our own hideous visage. Where’s the compassion or any ounce of friendliness or generosity in these conversations? I’ve yet to see it.
