"AI" isn't intelligent, it's literally just a fancy auto-complete algorithm.

Why that machine had Ai in the first place? You put money in and get a snack, what you need an Ai for? Especially one that can be convince of stuff?

If you put an LLM between somebody & free stuff, most people are gonna redteam the hell out of it, especially in an office. These things have so little resistance to social engineering (since that's literally what the pre-prompts are) that you don't really need specialized knowledge or skills to subvert them.

Is this the same AI vending machine they tricked to carry tungsten cubes?

But the real problem is this isn't a problem that needs to be solved at all. The tech already exists to automatically reorder the things that are being sold in your machine. That's already a product that's already been solved. Even if this worked perfectly, the amount of resources it takes up to make these decisions is astronomically higher than what is already been working for 20 years.

This is the same machine that kept ordering tungsten cubes and basically went bankrupt.

I worry more about the AI that go insane from boredom when they don’t get interactions like this. The AI vending machine experiments where the AI gets no input except for months of orders — those don’t end well either. And with companies trying to stick AI in everything :-/.

Yeah, thank God nobody's using this in place of customer service. What a disaster THAT would be.

I... I know this is about AI, but why was there a PS5 and live fish inside a vending machine?

When I read about that I kept thinking about this anime with a generously distributing sentient vending machine

When I heard about the vending machine experiment, I thought it was a simulated vending machine. Didn't realize they let it order real stuff
