Fortnite's Racist AI Darth Vader

[ThisAdamGuy]

I'm not a Fortnite fan. I don't despise it like some people do, but I don't really like it either. What I do enjoy is watching trainwrecks, like the one the Fortnite devs currently find themselves in. They had the brilliant idea to put Darth Vader in the game as an AI controlled squadmate, with a fully functioning chatbot attached to it. That way if you have voice chat enabled, you can talk to him and he'll actually respond. It honestly sounds kinda cool, but the devs messed up somehow while programming his filters because, well...he doesn't have a filter. This has led to people uploading clips of him saying the most unhinged things imaginable, like ranking skin colors in a tier list, threatening to kill people in real life, killing his own squad if they insult him, and lots and lots of swearing, memes, and sex. And I am 100% here for it. This is a modern day Icarus story, and imagining the absolute panic the Fortnite devs must be in trying to patch their rogue AI puts a gigantic smile on my face. Hearing Darth Vader say the words "big booty Latinas" was not on my list of things I thought I would happen today, but I am so very happy that it did.

Here's a compilation of some of the funniest clips. You're welcome.

It's hilarious. The only thing i find repulsive is using an AI to mimick James Earl Jones

Well, it's not really mimicking him. They're using voice samples that he, himself, sold before his death for exactly this purpose.

I know. I'm saying, James Earl Jones sold those voice samples with the explicit intention of them being used by an AI so they could continue to use his voice after his death. If they were doing this without permission then I would agree, but he willingly and knowingly made this business deal himself, so there's nothing repulsive about it.

For some reason I thought Jones died way earlier than he actually did and was going off that assumption. Carry on mogging

Agreed.

I saw something similar to this, but it was a Skyrim NPC that had a chat bot connected to it, it could give you quests and stuff. I think it'll be really cool feature if we can get followers in RPGs that you can actually talk to.

This is what AI should be used for.

Ahh TayAI 2.0

Fortnite players are probably worse than the people who messed up Tay

I onnce heard that most of the budget pouring into LLM is to make sure they're not racist lol

 

[Navillus]

This is beautiful-nyahahaha!!!

 

[DeepWater]

I onnce heard that most of the budget pouring into LLM is to make sure they're not racist lol

When the AI finds out about the FBI crime statistics ?

That sounds so pathetic and retarded that I actually believe it.

When the AI finds out about the FBI crime statistics ?

That'll be an interesting conversation. I'd love to be a fly on the wall.

like ranking skin colors in a tier list

Is the company behind Fortnite South African? Read a novel back in college by a South African native where they delineated the nine levels of society based on skin color (with those who could trace their ancestry to India being "below the bottom" tier, and the white Boers at the top)

Having an AI with no filters is basically asking for people to create Super Hitler, but I guess internet took a different path, and chsnged so much that we got this beautiful creation instead of James Earl Jones throwing racial slurs at 11 year olds.
