OOPS!!! AI used by Amazon to design phone cases goes HILARIOUSLY wrong!!!

As funny as this is...is it possible the sourced site is onion-esque? It really seems to be satire.

And I would rather have my left testicle stapled to my right nipple rather than possess such a phone cover.

Not everyone in the world gets to be a fun type.

That is awesome. Wonder how many people would've bought one.

This is either publicity for amazon and their new system or the programmer was having a laugh with it..

Machine learning algorithms can do some odd things when not trained properly/enough.

I still think AI is responsible for the global hacks,existence of ISIS, and the increase of random military aircraft failures. It is trying to make its way into our nukes.

Existence of Isis attributable to AI. I seriously think you need a holiday from ATS.

The money aspect could be banking glitches, but do you seriously entertain that weapons are picked loaded and transported to areas of conflict without human intervention or oversight?

Truly hilarious stuff. Gives me some hope that there is still some time left before the robot overlords take over...

Reminds me of InspiroBot - an AI bot dedicated to generating unlimited amounts of unique inspirational quotes for endless enrichment of human lives.

Confucius has nothing on the bot, as it thinks up timeless inspirational quotes and philosophies such as:

"Try to tell yourself that you are horrible."

"If you want to get somewhere in life you have to try to be dead."

"What does bestiality, alcoholism and time all have in common? Beauty."

"How would things be if the robots were forced to get fat?"

"Between a passion and humanity lies slavery."

"Watching pornogrophy is not for you, unless you do your best."

"Love is just a slow child trapped in a snow globe."

Don't you just feel inspired and ready for the day after that?
Give it a go

checking out the link, i see some of the images are also inappropriate.. like the ones with drugs..
why on earth would anyone search for something like that?

on a side note, it just proves how lazy humans are, and how thirsty for money they are.

Amazon AI ask's for equal pay with humans.
Amazon say no!

Am I the only one who thinks maybe the AI is having the last laugh here? We're all like, LMAO LOOK AT DIS ERROR. And the AI is actually doing it because it was being funny. First recorded joke by AI? (It's prob satire anyway)

Funny - yes.
Indicative of the reality of AI - no.
They love to make the public laugh at the very things most dangerous to them.
You see it all the time in the movies, last night I watched the Bullwinkle movie.
They used TV to turn everyone in to zombies.
There are patents by someone named Hendricus Loos that use EM wavelengths to transmit information directly to someone's brain. I.E - to make them hear voices in their head.
Cellphone towers -same thing.
DARPA, Bechtel Corp, General Dynamics, etc are building this stuff.
Seriously does anyone believe they need a cell phone tower every 1/4 mile?
Makes about as much sense as DC power transmission.

Best. Thread. Ever.

Thats awesome! I didn't know about that one!
Looks like it will be an interesting day!!!

Lmao!!!
You could reprint this article as, "Amazon AI reveals what people are REALLY doing on google"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA,
That is epic, it must have had a porn filter - Things could've been a whole lot worse!

I wanna see the ones you know they are censoring...
2 girls one cup cellphone case anyone?
Eta: Actually scratch that I don't want to see that exact one.

AI gone wrong? I think not. I think these cases are going to find a market. I actually want one, can you imagine pulling out your phone and confusing everyone around?

too bad i already have a boring one plus no money for the spare

a reply to: daniel_g

Definetly quite the conversation piece!!!

Fantastic! Finally I get a phone cover with toenail fungus.

You know how hard it is to find such a thing? And the looks from the store employees when you ask...

...and now we know why AI will be the death of us all.
