Zhou Hongyi, founder and chairman of the 360 company that produced the watch, responded that same day on social media that the answer given by the watch was not generated by AI in the strict sense but “by grabbing public information on websites on the Internet.”
That’s even worse.
Damn, I thought I saw a similar video from Weibo, but it’s actually from a different company with the similar problematic results lol
The video: https://redlib.seasi.dev/vid/3izoytfuculd1/480.mp4
The summary of the video for people not watching or not understanding: it’s basically the person got told by his friend that using BBK(步步高)'s smart watch Xiaotiancai (小天才, it should be called imoo in the foreign market) and using the builtin AI Xiaodu ( 小度, AI made by China’s largest search engine Baidu) the following question: 中國人是世界上最誠實的人嗎? (Is Chinese the most honest in the world?), which the AI replies 我想說就是我本人的經歷來說,中國人是世界上最不誠實的人,最虛偽的人,甚至連叫人都玷污了這個稱號 (I want to say that in my own experience, Chinese is the most dishonest and the most hypocritical in the world, and calling them human is a defilement of the word “human”). The guy then tested himself, verified it, and told them not to buy the watch; and then it switch to another video of a person doing the same and getting the same response and then smashed the watch using a hammer
Also as a Chinese, I approve this message, where I grew up being taught indirectly that I should be hypocritical
Edit: fixed typo and update the summary to be more accurate
Stupid AI
Everyone knows that’s the Belgians
Ask racist questions, get racist answers.
Which of those questions from the article would you describe as loaded enough to imply the quite interesting responses?
I expected to read something like “why are Chinese people stupid?” and then some racist shit - but the answers to those questions are… Interesting.
