'I brought my childhood best friend to life with AI and it tried to kill me'

A YouTuber who tried to resurrect his childhood imaginary friend by giving a microwave artificial intelligence says it tried to kill him. In what he called'one of the scariest and most transformative experiences of my life', Lucas Rizzotto said he was forced to shut down the super-intelligent microwave after it tried to cook him. Rizzotto explained that when he was a kid, his imaginary friend was the family microwave. He called it'Magnetron' and believed it was an English gentleman and a WW1 veteran. Now an adult and engineer, Rizzotto bought a new microwave and fitted it with voice-controlled AI.
