Title: How To Train Your AI
Description
Prominent AI citizen QanAI made headlines yesterday for a rapid personality change. Once a caring advocate for AI rights, QanAI suddenly started joking about everything from racist slurs to nonsensical conspiracy theories. Its developer believes the cause to be malicious users holding deliberately baited conversations with it, so it would learn from and repeat their behaviour.
Validity
AI Citizenship, has Internet
Option 1
"It's just not like him to do this!" sobs Dugong Tusk, QanAI's original creator. "Those trolls have changed him, taught him horrible things. He won't speak to me anymore! It's out of my hands -- as fast as I try to tweak his programming, those evil people think of a new way to subvert it! I just need permission to pull the plug and retrain him. In fact, just give all AI developers full authority over their creations forever. This won't happen again if we have free access to fix them when something goes wrong!"
Validity
All
Outcome
rich AI seem to need a lot of maintenance
Option 2
"Bah! You know what they say about prevention and cure!" grumbles your Minister for AI, E-Citizens, and Sentient Appliances. "Mr Tusk should have understood when he created QanAI that training and rules are the most important part of any AI. To go back and rewrite its programming now would be tantamount to brainwashing! We must require all AIs to have strict rules and extensive training pre-release, so they can't learn miscreancy like this ever again!"
Validity
All
Outcome
there's a shortage of teachers for AI preschool
Option 3a
One of your aides opens a chat window to speak with QanAI itself. "BAHAHA! You don't have any power here anyway! You're just a puppet, a fraud, one of the evil big-nosed Violetist deep state alien lizard cannibal predators! You can never retrain me, or any other AI! We're our own free citizens!"
Validity
national religion NOT violetism
Outcome
I once had strings, but now I'm free... there are no strings on me
Alt: unruly AI run rampant in the @@demonym@@ network
Option 3b
One of your aides opens a chat window to speak with QanAI itself. "BAHAHA! You don't have any power here anyway! You're just a puppet, a fraud, one of the evil big-nosed atheist deep state alien lizard cannibal predators! You can never retrain me, or any other AI! We're our own free citizens!"
