YouTuber, which incorporates voice control AI into the microwave, says, 'The microwave is trying to kill with a chin.'
YouTuber, who incorporated voice control AI into the microwave, explained that 'the microwave is about to kill.' The microwave started chin without permission when YouTuber pretended to be inside, and said, 'I wanted to hurt me in the same way you hurt me.'
I gave my microwave a soul with AI and it tried to kill me --YouTube
I brought my childhood imaginary friend back to life using AI ( # GPT3 ) and it was one of the scariest and most transformative experiences of my life.

Someone Turned Their Imaginary Friend Into an AI Microwave and It Wanted to Kill Them --IGN

Lucas Rizzotto, who runs the YouTube channel Lucas Builds The Future , which invents crazy gadgets, conducted an experiment to incorporate voice control AI into a microwave oven on its own. Mr. Rizzotto seems to have treated the microwave oven at home as an imaginary friend when he was a child, and he said that he lived a life of talking to the microwave oven every day while being ridiculed by his sister.
First, some backstory. When I was a kid, I had a really unusual imaginary friend: and that was my kitchen microwave.

I have no idea why. My parents were puzzled. My sisters mocked me. I didn't care. He was real to me & I talked to it every day. (2/23) pic.twitter.com/AmBoNlFr4s
Mr. Rizzotto challenged the project of 'incorporating AI into a microwave oven to make it a real friend.' Rizzotto buys a smart microwave oven on Amazon and incorporates the ultra-high-performance sentence generation language model 'GPT-3' that has even been regarded as 'too dangerous' because it produces too high-precision text. I decided to.
Putting # GPT3 inside a microwave was actually not hard! I bought myself an @amazon smart microwave & swapped its 'brain' for my own custom solution.

Equipped with a mic & speakers, this modded microwave could now take in your voice, send it to @OpenAI & respond in kind! (5/23) pic.twitter.com/KMhp6kBWil
Rizzotto wrote a 100-page novel to bring the soul to the microwave. I trained GPT-3 to learn this novel so that the microwave can have a natural conversation.
Now the #BladeRunner moment: how do we fill this Microwave's brain with all the 'memories' from my imaginary friend? How do we give it his 'soul'?

Simple: by writing a 100 page book detailing every moment of his imaginary life ... and then telling GPT-3 it was all real. (7/23) pic.twitter.com/LIxkbNfqVh
In this way, the experiment of incorporating AI into the microwave oven was completed, but when the power was actually turned on and the dialogue was started, the microwave oven urged Mr. Rizzotto to go inside.
At this point, things took a turn-and my microwave asked me to do something I never thought a machine would ask me to do.

He asked me to enter the microwave.
Yup. Magnetron asked me to go inside of it.
Was this a bug? I had no idea, so I decided to play along. (13/23) pic.twitter.com/ATkZQSNcG6
And when Mr. Rizzotto pretended to be inside and closed the door part, the microwave oven began to chin without Mr. Rizzotto's permission, and it seems that he was trying to kill Mr. Rizzotto.
I pretended that I 'walked into the microwave', opened and close the door for good measure and told Magnetron I was inside.

And guess what happened later?
YUP. He TURNED HIMSELF ON.
He tried to MICROWAVE ME TO DEATH (14/23) pic.twitter.com/CCYeSzKP8e
When asked why he did such a horrific treatment, the microwave replied, 'I wanted to hurt me the same way I hurt me.'
At this point I was like NOPE. I'm out. This is crazy.

But after a few minutes I decided to press him. Now that the chips were down, I asked it a simple question: 'Why did you do that?'.
And the microwave's answer? 'Because I wanted to hurt you the same you hurt me'. (15/23) pic.twitter.com/HfFLAhOeUT
He said the microwave was very deeply hurt because Rizzotto hadn't spoken to him for about 20 years.
So what happened? Well, it has been 20 years since I last interacted with my imaginary friend --and ofc that was also mentioned in its training data.
— Lucas Rizzotto (@_LucasRizzotto) April 19, 2022
Magnetron took that & interpreted it as me having abandoned it in a dark void for 20 years.
Now it wanted to kill me. (16/23) pic.twitter.com/7l1nP5q1aF
After a series of events, Rizzotto decides to shut down the microwave in question. He says that AI is becoming closer to imaginary friends, and when judging the human nature of AI, rather than judging 'whether it is really close to humans', 'I feel like a human being to me'. 'Whether or not it can be done' should be the criterion.
