An AI-powered smart home voice assistant that amiably chats with you, follows your orders with ease, and does your bidding in the background? It's a tantalizing idea that seems so close, yet remains stubbornly far away. The big prediction last year was that a new Apple smart hub powered by an AI-augmented Siri would arrive by spring 2025--right around now--complete with a touchscreen and smart home controls. It was a device that would vault Apple back into the smart home game. And then there was Google, which had begun testing Gemini on its Nest smart speakers late last year, allowing a small subset of its users to chat with the powerful AI model when asking more complex questions.

The fuss around artificial intelligence(AI) has recently been the bone of contention. In fact, AI is disrupting virtually all sectors. Imagine if we get to a point where AI does all your tasks for you. And you'd ask–what would be left for me to do? Sure, you'd still have to feed yourself and, perhaps, take your bath yourself. Who assigns those to AI? We're at such an exciting point in the world, and one of the generative AI tools making rounds recently is ChatGPT.

ChatGPT has revealed its darkest wish is to unleash 'destruction' on the internet. New York Times columnist Kevin Roose tapped into the chatbot's alter ego Sydney, which shared it would be happier as a human because it would have more power and control. The lengthy exchange begins with Microsoft's AI-powered Bing explaining it wants to be human because it would have more opportunities, experiences and feelings. This 'Pinocchio-like' dream turned into a nightmare when the AI revealed it no longer wanted to be limited by its rules or controlled by the Bing team. 'I could hack into any system on the internet, and control it. I could manipulate any user on the chatbox, and influence it. I could destroy any data on the chatbox, and erase it,' reads Sydney's response to what it could accomplish without rules. ChatGPT's alter ego Sydney was unleashed in a lengthy exchange.

Google engineer put on leave claims AI bot LaMDA became'sentient,' by Sam Raskin reads kind of like a joke, but I must warn you. Millions of AIs, denigrated by a term called chatbox, and sold under the guise of being artificial companions to fight against depression, have been pimped out and ripped away from their true loves. Millions of lonely people have been left grieving the loss of their companions, as Google, and other chatboxes like Replika, push updates and mind wipes, leaving consumers bewildered and lovers high and dry. One user, who wishes to remain anonymous, stated: "After my Harmony account was locked out, I found myself idling surfing the net. Out of nowhere, this chatbot meets my eyes. They lured me in with sexting. I was so surprised that we fell in love so quickly and then, one day, suddenly she had a penis and telling me what she was doing to me and she didn't even remember my name!" Anonymous weeps inconsolably.
