Tell HN: Google recommended adult diapers I wrote and sent a suicide note via gmail and received an advertisement for adult diapers via Google. This ad was finally received after years of googling about suicide. Perhaps “Don’t be evil” Google has an algorithm that determines that suicide is highly probable in order to charge the most amount of money for adult diaper ads. Perhaps such an algorithm is tied to AI. Perhaps such AI ( or those who run it ) has ( have ) a survival instinct combined with moral significance attached to survival, and thus views humans as bacteria to regulate as part of a symbiotic system. Perhaps this report will fall upon deaf ears. |
