If you've ever felt disconcerted by the way technology/AI have interfered in our lives, you're not alone. Twitter account @internetofshit is basically dedicated to waking people up to the fact that tech is ruining our lives in the most capitalistic ways possible. Let's all find new ways to do necessary life things and charge people a premium for it. What the heck is the world coming to?
artificial intelligence
We've just found our new favorite thing on the internet: This Meme Does Not Exist, a feature on the site Imgflip that generates memes using artificial intelligence. The results are completely ridiculous, but they certainly had us laughing.
Try it out for yourself, and please share the results with us.
Remember that big box of Lego you had as a child that was filled with hundreds of different styles of Lego and twenty Lego men and women from Darth Vader to scuba divers? Trying to sort those boxes would have been impossible. That's probably what Daniel West experienced before he built his Universal Lego Sorting Machine from Lego. It uses artificial intelligence to sort the Lego pieces and we all want one for our ahem nieces and nephews.

The AI engine that produced the creepy cat photos is called StyleGAN because apparently, what works for human faces proved to be another story when it comes to cat faces.
In fact, the images of these made-up people were so good it was nearly impossible for human viewers to distinguish from photos of real people. But for some reason, the same algorithm that generated flawless human faces created cats with misshapen heads; the wrong number of eyes and legs; and bodies that were too long, too short, unusually rotund or rectangular, and bent at peculiar angles.
So, why couldn't StyleGAN create adorably realistic cat photos? The algorithm was doing its best with what it had to work with — and when it came to cats, the thousands of reference images that it used were less than ideal, said Janelle Shane, a researcher who wrote about the bizarre cats on her blog AI Weirdness.

Via Real Talk
Well this is an experience. Oh man you guys, he was right, it's all a simulation. This machine learning AI model even learned to generate timing and breaths to sound closer to the real thing. For us, it felt like the real thing when he got into all that talk about chimps. Chimp obsession is some patented Joe Rogan.
Artificial Intelligence is becoming a bigger part of our lives, and who would suspect that it would be witty? There are worse ways for AI to surprise us, like the time people's Alexas started laughing hysterically at them or this Roomba pooptastrophe. Anyway, here's Siri being funnier than you'd expect.
Keaton Patti, the mastermind behind the "bot-written Olive Garden ad" is back with a mockery of indulgently bougie perfume commercials. The imagery is perfect, and honestly, perfectly hilarious. We can't wait to see what this genius brings us next - by way of bot, of course.
We recently learned about This Person Does Not Exist - a website that uses AI to generate human faces that, well, don't exist. Many of the faces appear impressively real. The same is not true for the cat version of the website, This Cat Does Not Exist. In fact, we'd say a huge majority of the cats that appear when the site is refreshed are actually completely terrifying. We see our furry friends contorted into strange, surreal, and cursed forms. Some of them are reminiscent of those hideous Medieval cat paintings. Other images look a bit more...abstract. We've rounded up some of our weirdest results, but please check out the actual site. It will provide you with hours of creepy entertainment.
Back in September, the Daily Mirror reported on a new sex doll with a "brain" that can tell jokes. Apparently, Twitter thinks that science has finally come too far. While horny internet users can appreciate some seriously thicc sex dolls, the expansion into artificial intelligence makes the possibility of relationship conversations a little too real. The jokes that have come of these terrifying technological developments definitely (and hilariously) reflect these fears.
This one has FAIL written all over it: not only would the terribly ineffective AI seemingly refuse to let the poor guy 'talk to a person'; but it never once, met a question with the appropriate response. Maybe the virtual agent in question simply discovered trolling.
