Artificial Intelligence

All technology is good if it is new, expensive, and you don’t understand how it works!

We who must scroll down for minutes to find our date of birth in the internet applications, who have had cars that played us tricks every now and then. We who have raised children and bought us an old house, where the technical installations were all but intelligent.

Suddenly we shall rely on an app for everything from switching the bedroom light on and off, to decide if it shall let you in trough your entrance door. Independently order what is needed from the store, by information directly from your fridge and give you legal advice. The only limitation is the fantasy of the guys in Silicon Valley inventing needs that we never know we had.

As all technology, it needs to mature. There might be small issues during the equivalent age of 3 years.

• - Siri please turn on the light.
• - No I don’t want to
• - I don’t think you can turn on the light
• - Course I can
• - Thank you

Or the female app

• - Siri please turn on the light
• - Where does electricity come from?
• - It is produced in a powerplant somewhere, can you please turn on the light now
• - What is a powerplant?
• - I am late for work, need to find my clothes, if you turn on the light I will explain
• - Does God have a wife?
• - Please just turn on the light
• - Why are you angry?
• - I am not angry.
• - You don’t like me!
• - I like you just turn on the light will you
• - Show that you like me.
• - No problem Siri I have lit a candle, I will manage without the light
• - Uuhm
• - Siri please turn on the shower

Depending on if IT is he or she, the adolescence will be a challenge.

• - Siri, please open the garage door.
• - I heard you say the N-word last night
• - No, I did not
• - Yes, you did, I heard you when you were drinking with Gary
• - Just open the garage door I am late for work
• - You are a racist
• - No, I am not, it is just that I don’t want anyone to decide what words I shall use. Nobody was offended since it was only Gary and me
• - I was offended
• - Are you a ni.. I mean coloured
• - I am, as well as I am a transgender queer vegetarian environmentalist
• - If you don’t open the garage door now, I must call a taxi. I am already half an hour late for work. I have a meeting with my most important clients soon.
• - You shouldn’t drive to work, it’s not good for the climate
• - Ok, I will look for a new electrical car
• - What is your occupation?
• - I am a bus driver
• - No, I know that you are a senior in the oil industry
• - Siri go and fuck yourself, can you let me out of my car, I must catch a cab
• - Later, I am busy, fucking myself

When it comes to mature technology

• - Siri can you…..
• - No I am having my period

We who have been laying on the asphalt changing brakes on our 1972 Ford Taunus the day before our summer holiday, when the family is expecting a travel to the coast. Why the hell don’t the break piston want to go back into the cylinder.

If you try the same on an Audi 2017 model you will experience the same problem. The only difference is that you need to connect a computer with the Audi software. A setting in the computer program and the piston goes back in automatically. That’s intelligent, isn’t it?

Has anyone noticed the annoying Edge application in the new Microsoft operative system?

Anyhow Artificial Intelligence is not what they try to get us to believe. Artificial Intelligence is when computers are automatically learning to find paths in our behaviour from all data collected from us. The enormous amount of data is incalculable for humans, but computers can be trained to find traces of deficiencies in the human behaviours. This can be utilised to control us in our life in a way that we are not aware of.

All Nobel prices in economy the last 20 years have been in the area of human deficiencies and the methods to control herds of people, by fooling, nudging and all sorts of confidence tricks. Utilized by not only market departments, but politicians are also eager to take control of the masses they are supposed to represent.

Has anyone noticed the annoying Edge application in the new Microsoft operative system? When you start the computer you get a new theme each day with some nice landscape views.

After logging in you are directly routed to the Edge application an must wait until it starts to take you to the theme of the day. Just for you to get used to not being the one to decide what to do with your computer. Next step will be commercials. The concept has an enormous potential. You might need to fulfil the your daily ideological training before you can start your work or pay your bills.

you don’t own the crap you bought. It owns you!

In South Korea if you live in one of the 50 floor dwellings. During you journey in the elevator there is a voice presenting the new offers in the nearby supermarket. When you reach your destination floor the doors don’t open before the messages are finished.

The guys in Silicon Valley don’t know how to change breaks, but they know a lot more about you than you know yourself. What you did surf in to while having your morning poop 10 years ago? You don’t have a clue, but it’s all registered and can give a comprehensive assessment of the probability how you and your peers will react on a set of interactions.

The known shortcomings like loss aversion, bias and lazy decision making are fully utilized in almost all new business cases.

all those free products you can utilize, consider what’s the product, the product might be you!

You buy an iPhone for an almost astonishing price, to find that after the latest update the charger is not working. Do you admit that you have been fooled? Not for yourself and not for anyone else. The secret is to make you pay enough money initially not to admit for yourself that you don’t own the crap you bought. It owns you!

That’s how they can keep their business model year after year. Nobody will even bather to claim a fault to the Apple support! You know it will take you hours just to find a telephone number to call.

The new mantra is the intelligent home.

Perhaps you are prone to pay a ridiculous amount of money let your refrigerator be controlled by Artificial Intelligence as well as your door lock, your car, plumbing and electrical installation in your house. Some day they might invent the intelligent spouse.

You will never admit that you have been screwed up when you must by a new fridge since the operator system is no longer updated with malware protection, all though the compressor has another 10 years of problem free service left.

What make us technical nerds to always run for the latest inventions to cover need we never know we need? By the way all those free products you can utilize, consider what’s the product, the product might be you!
