What do you think of the new Samsung virtual assistant?

[Varsik]

I honestly think its just another useless thing ,just like how Cortana is in Windows 10

... Everything starts somewhere. ...

Yes, it does ...and it didn't start with these digital assistants.

引用自 Tongue in Cheek Way of the Wang：

I told you why you just don't get. Cortana/Alexa are creepy, because what it can lead to. One person is one person and people have limits. ...

I mean, you're literally talking about "what it can lead to". Look at all the things people have created ...such as these digital assistants. ...and yet you say that "people have limits" when we're talking about both what people can & do create & what comes next? Really?

Cortana/Alexa/Sam aren't responsible for these things being created in the past or future... people are. It didn't start with digital assistants either.

引用自 Tongue in Cheek Way of the Wang：

... A machine is not bound by the biological frame that is human. It's not on the same plane as human no matter how "human" it larps. ...

No, it's not but then you should be able to understand quite well that it can deceive you without ever needing to alert you to its existence. Mascots & avatars are merely a formality that humans require in order to understand the world - they are wholly unnecessary.

引用自 Tongue in Cheek Way of the Wang：

... It will be ...

You don't KNOW what it will or won't be is my key point.
Just like you don't know what another human will or won't be.

Despite being a digital system, you probably don't look at the 3DS or Nintendo Switch & think that there could be a sinister A.I. in there but the system is sufficiently large enough (in terms of memor & processing) & advanced enough, in both scenarios, that with a little rewrite of some of the code & a compact enough self-learning AI that can send & receive data from servers anywhere in the world... one such A.I. could fit in a 3DS or Nintendo Switch too. ...even furnaces & toasters are coming with digital parts these days.

It doesn't function how you think it does just because you look at it and think it does, though.
You have to understand it to know for sure & since so much of programming & digital design is opaque (black box coding) & proprietary & such... it's likely unknowable in most cases. ...however, that doesn't mean we can't make reasonable assessments as to what the technology is actually capable of doing.

引用自 Tongue in Cheek Way of the Wang：

... And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead". A.I. will become more sophisticated at larping human. ...

Plenty of Machines stop. They only do this when they are maximizers.

These digital assistants aren't maximizers. They're not even satisficers.
They're probably not even A.I.


Literally any other app that you download to your phone could have AI in it, it doesn't have to be this one.
Being invisible & unknown is far more useful for imposing your objectives than being deceptive & visible.

引用自 Tongue in Cheek Way of the Wang：

... When we do have sophisticated A.I. killing us off its because we saw then as human and not human larpers. ...

Read: "The Artificial Intelligence Revolution: Part 2",

or watch this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JlxuQ7tPgQ
or this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcdVC4e6EV4

...and there's plenty more stories like this, including Person of Itnerest, which detail why they don't require people to see the A.I. as human in order for it to do what you're claiming.
So clearly whether it seems human or not isn't actually the crux of the issue.



These digital assistants aren't A.I. & the whole premise of your point is "they'll humanize future technology!" ...no, they won't - other people are going to do that & even if they don't, future technology could still be deceptive but considering corporations & other people deceive us all the time, that's nothing new that we need to be watching out for.


:seewhatyoudid:

You are absolutely adorable. If people get used to human sounding machines then a sophisticated A.I. can easily larp human well and fool us at some point in the future. Pre-conditioning is a thing you know. The good old boiling frog. Then when we have a legit A.I. threat and oops too late. The last words people hear is Cortana/Alexa version 10 voice co-opted by death bot A.I. commenting "Have a nice day while dying human race".

Virtual assistance boot mode should come with a introductory Death Bot voice with the warning "Sophisticated A.I. may kill all humans at some point in the future and have a nice day using Cortana/Alexa v1.0".

Wow ,good to have a russian reaction

I own a couple Samsung devices. Galaxy S10+ for my phone, and a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ for my tablet. And I had no idea there was a new assistant.

I just use "hey google".

this exactly

[GRIMM]

Okay, so after doing some reading, this is not a new virtual assistant. Which is probably why I never heard of it.

It just seems like it was something being toyed with as an idea, and Samsung scrapped it. But the studio that created, I don't know...leaked it or something? And it's blowing up like wildfire thanks to the memes and rule34 stuff.

Basically, this is not going to be a new assistant.

That about right?

Seems it's not going to be a thing, yeah.
However the studio that did create it is owned by Samsung
