AI chatbots are all the rage these days, but one app named ‘Historical Figures‘ might have taken things bit too far by allowing people to chat with famous dead people. Which may not sound like a bad idea in theory, until you realise these famous dead people include genocidal dictators, paedophiles and sex traffickers.
It’s not just that you can ‘chat’ to these people, it’s that they sometimes straight up deny their crimes. Here’s what happens when you ask Jimmy Saville about the crimes he committed against children:
I mean, to be fair, that’s probably what he would say. I’m just not sure how useful it is to chat to an AI Jimmy Saville that just denies everything he did when you ask him about it.
Interestingly, when you chat to Heinrich Himmler, the chief of Nazi Germany’s SS and an architect of the Holocaust, he makes out like he regrets everything he did:
You can even chat to Jeffrey Epstein and find out once and for all whether he killed himself or whether the official narrative that he hung himself in his cell is legit:
Well, that settles that then.
Here’s what happens when you try to explain what hentai is to Goebbels – let’s just say it’s not his cup of tea!
Too funny. I guess it’s something interesting to think about: if you bring back these dead monsters from history as supposed ‘educational tools’ in AI, should they defend their atrocities and crimes or disown them/act like they weren’t responsible for them? From the reaction online, it seems a lot of people think it’s a terrible idea to ‘bring back’ these monsters in the first place.
P.S. Sorry about the lack of Hitler chat, but it costs 500 coins to unlock him. 500 coins! Rip-off:
