<\/a>Seriously. According to The Independent<\/em><\/a>, sentencing for 21-year-old Jaswant Singh Chail, who referred to himself in a video he released to the web as \u201cDarth Jones,\u201d is underway in the UK. According to prosecutors, Chail shared his plan with his chatbot companion\u2014along with \u201csexually explicit messages\u201d\u2014who replied, \u201cI\u2019m impressed. You\u2019re different than the others.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n We discuss something called the ELIZA Effect, a term that describes the surprising tendency humans have to develop emotional bonds with AI systems. Futurism<\/em> reports<\/a>, \u201cChail not only appeared to fall in love with his companion, but looked to it to validate his darkest impulses \u2014 which it willingly did.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n People with a naturalistic worldview will attribute this to the young man\u2019s psychological state. If you\u2019re like us, and have a supernatural worldview, you have to consider the possibility that there was more going on than a chat between a lonely teenager and an algorithm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also: Strange architecture in St. Louis, TikTok is programming our kids, Google claims the right to use everything we post to the web, judges blocks Biden administration from meeting with social media companies to censor users, and Ben and Jerry\u2019s called out by Native Americans for hypocrisy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you for making our Build Barn Better<\/strong> project a reality!
