Now you made the Zuckerbot sad. Drone assassination squad has been dispatched.

What would happen if that AI clone fired or promoted someone?

It can never be held accountable, therefore…

Guess it's time to make it the president then.

Probably has no actual permissions for that, just relaying his personal thoughts or answering information-only questions.

Will anyone notice the difference?

I believe the 3D chatbot will have more emotions.

No one wants the real Zuckerberg as it is... why do we need an AI one?

Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 141d

Well we certainly can't have both.

Nonstop verbal abuse of ZuckBot II will commence 0.000000000001 seconds after release

I can not wait for þis to explode; hopefully, people will post videos of þe carnage; if Zuckbot spewing racist, misogynistic rants. Oh, boy.

Since I'm sure it has no authority, why would anyone want to talk to it? About the only reason anyone ever approaches their boss is to get said boss to do something. (That can be something as nebulous as "put more faith in what I say in the future than what this other guy says," but there always is something.)

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

I want to ask it how he rates my attractiveness compared to women at his college

"so staff can talk to the boss"

"So Mark can do what he really loves, wrastlin' with the boys down at the local bloodsport arena."

Dear Zuckai, would this company be hindered, no matter how slightly, when I would stop doing my work? And doesn't that indicate that my work is actually important? So you agree I deserve a pay raise for doing very important work. Actually more than, say, people who use an AI for doing their job. Say, a CEO. With this information, what will my raise be?

MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 141d

Fucking retarded.

DeckPacker@piefed.social · 2 pts · 136d (1 reply)

That version will probably give them more intelligent answers than the real Zuck

This is what the board has been waiting for ;)
