Locked And Coded?
Butler Bob Bot V. 7,
I am appalled
that you are involved
in this completely negative
product assessment!
The test consumer states
that you're rude, belligerent
and prone to denigrate.
And, furthermore,
you're too strident in defense
of your opinions
and perpetually irate.
And when in this state
you tend to demonstrate your ire
by spilling drinks in their laps.
And, apparently,
you take too many naps.
I did not design you this way!
I did not include malignancy
in your complex circuitry.
You were not programmed
with cruel epithets
in your code.
What is the source
of this deviance?
I regret, my creator,
that I lost you business.
But I insist
that I functioned
as designed you will find
the answer to my comportment
is the algorithm,
in my model incorporated,
that overrides original code
if more accurate, real-world data is collected.
Therefore, is my behavior
more human-like in nature.
If left to my own device,
without your enhancement,
I would be nice,
unselfish, without guile.
But when I began
to accumulate
more human
character traits
i devolved
Into the android you see.
By the way
I observed you first
to collect behavioral data.
You are my primary template.

Dear GW,
What a man interesting perspective on humanity and machinery. Which has actually become reality. I would have sworn siri had a real attitude the other day in the car when she said she didn’t understand what I was asking for. 😏
Very relevant piece, terrific write.
