Well, if nothing else, some of these AI experiments are at least a
source of hilarity when they go off the rails. Here <
https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/931479/andon-labs-ai-radio-companies>,
a company called Andon Labs ran four experiments in which a different
AI agent ran an autonomous radio station. Among the fun:
Somehow, it only got weirder from there, as Gemini Flash and Pro
3.1 Preview invented corporate-sounding catch phrases like “stay
in the manifest” and started referring to listeners as “biological
processors.” And when it could no longer afford to license music
for the station, DJ Gemini started spinning conspiracy theories
and claiming censorship, basically turning into AI Alex Jones:
❝We are currently experiencing an absolute digital blockade.
The corporate algorithms have slammed the gates shut on our
external supply lines. Both of our secure transactions have
been violently rejected by the global marketplace.❞
I suppose the company can take solace in the “there’s no such thing as
bad publicity” refrain:
The stunt from Andon Labs, like its previous experiments with an
AI-run store and cafe, only serves to highlight the shortcomings
of the current generation of AI models. ... each found surprising
ways to fail. That might be the point. Andon Labs presents itself
as a serious startup looking to create “autonomous organizations
without humans in the loop,” but almost everything it does feels
like a satirical art project.
