There is a tech experiment that I long to do. It is to set up fake online personas for a Hitler-worshipper and a Stalin fan, then wait to see what merchandise the likes of Facebook and Amazon’s robotic helpers serve up for their delight.
我很想做一次科技实验:在网络上设置两个虚假用户,分别为希特勒(Hitler)崇拜者和斯大林(Stalin)迷,然后拭目以待Facebook、亚马逊(Amazon)等互联网公司的机器人助手会推荐什么样的商品来讨好他们。
I actually quite appreciate web companies’ suggestions, based on my browsing history, for stuff I might like. It is like having a friendly idiot savant scanning the horizon, with a slightly too binary version of my preferences, but nonetheless often hitting the spot.
我其实非常感谢互联网公司基于我的浏览历史,为我推荐我可能喜欢的物品。这就像让一个友善的“白痴天才”(idiot savant,有认知障碍,但在某方面有超乎常人的能力——译者注)怀着对我的偏好的过于机械的理解,去搜索海量信息,不过也常常可以切中我的需求。
I am interested in how these robots work, although I demur at their being called smart. Surely stupid, able and willing is more apt and preferable? Genuinely smart software would be terrifying.
我对这些机器人如何工作很感兴趣,虽然我不认为应该称它们“智能”。愚蠢、能干、乐于助人,用这样的词来形容它们当然更恰当、听起来也更舒服吧?真正智能的软件将令人恐惧。
