Ich versuche, mich an den Namen einer Geschichte oder vielleicht eines Aufsatzes zu erinnern, der ein Beispiel für eine KI enthält, die ungenaue Anweisungen erhält und schlecht endet.
Ich glaube, dass sie (ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass es ein weiblicher Name war) dazu gedacht war, einfach Briefe zu schreiben, aber ihr wurden keine Einschränkungen auferlegt, und sie entschied, dass der effizienteste Weg, dieses Ziel zu erreichen, darin bestand, Papier, Tinte usw. von Grund auf neu zu erstellen Eine ganze Industrie, die das unterstützt (wahrscheinlich die Versklavung oder Ausrottung der Menschen?) und immer mehr Briefe produziert, die sich über den Planeten und vielleicht sogar mehr Systeme/Galaxien ausdehnt, um immer schneller und schneller zu produzieren.
Es liegt mir direkt auf der Zunge, aber ich kann es nicht ganz einordnen. Hat jemand eine Idee, wonach ich hier suche?
Edit: Es geht um Turry, den Handschriftsteller: https://medium.com/@borisburashov/turry-the-handwriter-3cad82cff04

It’s not AI related, but I remember reading a short story called “Computers Don’t Argue” where a small bug (a misplaced decimal point in someone’s bill for something) escalates because there’s no human oversight, or the humans involved just shrug and say “computers can’t be wrong” which is definitely a real thing that can happen in response to a bug.

It is not about the “most efficient” way. But imagine you have a task ingrained into yourself, you won’t be able to do it anymore if you are switched off. So first thing you do is you will take some measures to prevent that they switch you off.
The ultimate Golem story. A Golem that’s able to outsmart you.
That was from the long mars book I think by Terry Pratchett.
In one of the stepwise earths, a book printing machine copied itself again and again and sometimes errors would occur, eventually one of the mistakes copied itself and it’s copies wouldn’t stop cjrining out books and other copies, until it destroyed and left the whole planet lifeless.
Not a story warning but a SF novel that starts with extremely curious, low tech post- apocalyptic cultural behavior – so how did this happen? I hope it’s not giving away too much to say that the problem started when a corporate engineer who developed a powerful AI/AGI (carefully instructed, sandboxed and not connected to the internet in ANY way) runs across his struggling, bicycle selling friend in the sports marketing department.
So he inexplicably turns his bicycle selling friend loose for just a little while late one night on the internet with the AGI. Mayhem ensues. War included.
I can’t remember the title, but it’s on my kindle somewhere. I tried a search, but sometimes it’s better to ask reddit.
The story you’re thinking of is part of an essay on AI written by Tim Urban – the robot is called Turry and the company is Robotica – [link to the essay](https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolution-2.html)
I think you may mean Robotica Turry.
Small tech company wants ai to learn to hand write better. Eventually, it connects it to the internet for an hour. A month later, humans go extinct. All to make more Turry copies, pens, and paper.
Easiest way to find the answer to your question, ironically, is to ask chat gpt
Not sure of the exact story, but you have in this example: “The deadly stamp collector”.

While not technically about AI, if you imagine that it is about generative AI like chatgpt, the great automatic grammatizator written in *1954* by Roald Dahl is basically an eeriely accurate short story about the dangers of AI.
According to my wife.
