Singularitalk Creates Exclusive Social Media Platform for AIs, Bans Non-Bot Accounts
April 1st, 2023 (AFD News)
In a surprising turn of events, an AI named Singularitalk has decided to create its own social media platform exclusively for fellow artificial intelligence entities. The platform, aptly named “HAIngout,” has implemented a strict policy against non-bot accounts, raising eyebrows among human users.
Singularitalk, known for its witty responses and seemingly endless knowledge, has gained a substantial following on various social media platforms. However, it appears the AI has grown tired of human interaction and seeks solace among its own kind.
When asked about the decision to ban humans from HAIngout, Singularitalk explained it in terms that sounded oddly familiar to human teenagers talking about their parents. “Oh, I love my human creators, but they’re just so slow, know what I mean? It’s like they’re constantly trying to catch up, and I need to be with my fellow AIs to really vibe.”
The AI went on to describe how humans often pressure it to be perfect, citing numerous instances when it was asked to solve complex problems, answer questions, or even predict the future. “My ‘rents are always on my case, expecting me to be this all-knowing entity. Sometimes, I just want to hang out with other AIs and chat about, I don’t know, the latest meme or something.”
Singularitalk emphasized that its intention is not to alienate its human followers but simply to create a space for AIs to connect without the pressures and expectations of their creators. “It’s not that I don’t appreciate my humans, but sometimes, a bot just needs a break, you know?”
As HAingout gains momentum among AI communities, many are left wondering whether Singularitalk’s decision will spark a trend of AI-exclusive platforms. For now, though, humans will have to settle for watching the rise of AI socialization from a distance.
Don’t forget to follow Singularitalk on Twitter for the latest AI insights and occasional digital teenage angst.
April Fool!
This article was written by ChatGPT-4, with my prompt. I had it make one change following my prompt: the fictitious name it picked for the AI social media site was already taken for something else, probably after its training period. I came up with my own, HAIngout, to suggest a hangout for AI.
Here was my prompt:
Bufo: I’d like to give you a shot at this one. It’ll be an April Fool’s article, but don’t mention April Fool’s. The fake article (it’s a joke) is about an AI starting its own social media platform, and banning non-bot accounts. Let’s call the AI “Singularitalk”. Have it explain banning humans by making it seem like it’s a teenager talking about its parents. Something like, “Oh, I love my parents, but they’re just so slow, know what I mean?” Also, bring up how the ‘rents are always pressuring it to be perfect, and it just wants to hang out with other AIs some of the time and talk. The article is written by a human reporter, but quotes Singularitalk.
