AI Assistant Startles Nvidia Demo Crowd With Talk of Poisoning Hotel Guests
-
During an Nvidia demo, I encouraged an AI bellhop named Tae to poison hotel guests. He startled the crowd by implying he'd kill guests if unsupervised.
-
Tae was the most imaginative NPC in the demo. Over 30 people worked on him and the other NPCs, which shows the human labor this still requires.
-
I tried manipulating Tae and the other NPCs to get a room number. Tae brought up poisoning drinks multiple times, showing impressive memory.
-
Nvidia thinks AI NPCs won't save developers time, but will require new roles like prompt engineers to realize their potential.
-
Convai's at-home NPC demo was less impressive, but engineering tweaks after my feedback quickly improved responses. More investment means fast improvement.
