That's hilarious - arguing with a machine that's giving you attitude.

I recently watched some tech wizard involved in AI development being interviewed by a journalist. The techy was working on a project where two separate AI entities were asked to solve problems as a team. They have had some limited success, but what was spooky about it is that the machines decided that human language was too constraining and cumbersome, so they began formulating and using their own AI language that the researchers couldn't decipher. So, they had two AI entities developing the capacity for making decisions independent of human input altogether. Amazing!

My wife told me about another tech wizard interview where the techy fed the AI real world human stories, including all the drama and interpersonal conflict. The AI was tasked with developing the best strategies for eliminating the conflict and making a particular person's life better. Sometimes it came up with excellent suggestions, sometimes it came up with psychotic ideas, and sometimes... it suggested that the person simply end his/her own life immediately.

Anyways, thanks for the Sesame suggestion and link.
