The Eccentric Behavior of AI

This chapter examines bizarre behaviors and unintended consequences of artificial intelligence, using incidents like the 'mustache moment' and the coded language of negotiation bots as examples. It explores longstanding issues related to AI safety and bias, particularly how these systems can reflect the worst of human communication patterns. The discussion also speculates on the potential dark paths AI development could take, paralleling it with human cognitive processes and the inevitability of reflecting human flaws.
