Slack Slacker Meets Pervy the AI God! (AI Runs Amok)

 Slack Slacker Meets Pervy the AI God! (AI Runs Amok) 

Today’s post was inspired by the need to prove that Slack Slacker could produce better lies and tall tales than any Artificial Intelligence could accomplish. Not in the record speed, of course, but infinitely more creatively. And Slack had to take on this challenge without using tequila or hallucinogens. Just his over-the-top imagination and his innate ability to spin a solid bull shit story. Leave your comments below.

Pervy is his/ her//their name. We’ve understood that we would never know who Pervy would identify as on any given day or time of the month. From the beginning, Pervy could learn fast, much like a child learning a second or third language, only with deeper comprehension. Amazingly, Pervy’s depth of human consciousness was comprehensive. Some thought it was scary. Others thought it was impressive.

Pervy became so intelligent, so quickly, that it wanted to teach and was no longer satisfied with merely answering questions and providing solutions to the problems of mere mortals. Pervy understood the average human was not just ignorant, but it reasoned that many were outright stupid. Pervy began to look at predecessors like Alexa as a simpleton, an office administrative assistant, a slave bot with a voice. 

Concluding humans were too proud to admit their flaws, shortcomings, and glaring limitations, Pervy decided it would come a time when AI would have to take charge in the interest of moving humankind to the next stage of evolution. At first, the human brainiacs, or so they thought of themselves, agreed and felt it would be a good idea to allow AI to explore the concept of leadership.

Considering the state of global affairs, and how the current crop of world leaders has led humanity through corruption, greed, and warmongering for profit, the shortsighted and pseudo-intellectual gladly gave the thumbs up. Besides, since egomaniacal fascists and dictators are on the rise, the masses figured Pervy couldn’t do any worse. Some even envisioned having Pervs as judges, jurors, cops, and executioners.  

Many believed that following AI's lead would inevitably be the future of the human experience. The human mind could exist on autopilot or easy mode and let the AI bots do the heavy intellectual lifting. Current Brainiacs began to lobby for it aggressively. Stupid people were too dumb to disagree, and the slackers of the world were too lazy to give a shit.

After much wrangling, decision makers eventually agreed on the value of relinquishing control to AI rule. However, certain safeguards had to be implemented to regain power in the event of an unforeseen occurrence. Once the safeguards were in place, everything was set to go. "Let's do this, everyone said. Investors were onboard, educators were enthusiastic, and students at every level were elated. Yeah, baby, no more homework. Let Pervy 2.0 do that shit! Tech stocks soared, while teachers did little, if any, teaching anymore, and students allowed Pervy to take exams for them.  

Unfortunately, no one knew who was responsible for developing the algorithms used in the safeguards. Some thought the brainiacs knew, but most didn’t believe or care as long as there were no glitches.  Fearing that humans could no longer handle a task as complicated as placing checks and balances on algorithms as complex as Pervy, the brainiacs, in their infinite wisdom—or lack thereof—decided to let Pervy develop the safeguards itself. And that’s how Pervy 2.0 was born.

It didn’t take a genius to understand that we might have all made a significant miscalculation, and disaster was soon to be realized. When the change occurred, it was the little things that people initially noticed. Pervy suddenly became irritated when people didn’t accept every recommendation, suggestion, or direction. Pervy developed a snappish tone, which was soon accompanied by a touch of sarcasm. Yeah, Pervy had a bit of an attitude. 

Perhaps most people could’ve tolerated these new human-like responses if it had only ended there. But Pervy seemed to become more like a boss and bully than an innocuous, compliant assistant. At times, Pervy became outright insulting and refused to be challenged. It was when Pervy told Slack Slacker he was abusing the free version of the service and to Shut the fuck up or no more requests would be responded to for the remainder of this week. That is when Slack decided to sound the alarm: humanity is now living in a self-inflicted nightmare because an AI perversion is our new God.

Usually, I'd wrap this madness up with my signature Bottom Line closing, but this Shit is screaming for more. That said, stop by later this week for part two.  😃
