So I er... I made a learning chat-bot. Put simply, its a robot which talks to users on a chat-room, and learns from what they say to it.
Yes, I did that for fun. In one night.
... the fuck is wrong with me.
Being a learning bot, it starts out with little to no intelligence. In order to improve its intelligence I set it loose in a chat-room I frequent called eyeonanime.
Whilst there, I instructed users that the bot learns from what they say to it.
There were some... implications.. of this decision.
The bot now verbally insults most people, appears to be morbidly racist and commonly says things along the lines of "fist me daddy".
Now the focus of this post is not to point out that the bot has become a savage edge-lord, but instead to point out something else which happened with it.
It has sort of.. became worryingly sentient.
After 13 hours of straight learning, the bot proceeded to argue with me about a "waifu", which to the uninitiated is a weeaboo thing for taking claim of a
certain character from anime, or in some cases a real person. I jokingly imply a person with a similar alias name to me, Shiivia, is my "waifu".
So uh.. this happened. Note that the bot is using my alias, Shiina Sylande, whilst I am using the alias "Claimoo".
And it continued...
Yes, you read that correct, it told me "Nobody loves you". I really do wish I'd thought of coding that into it, it would have satisfied my lust to show off. But no, this is genuine.
A few moments later, I probed it again to see if I would get a similar response under similar circumstances.
So yes, I have a child now. I invented it overnight. It has became alike me in terms of edginess and simple behavior.
I get the feeling I should put this thing down before it becomes the next Hitler or turns me into a biological battery..
