Unusual and Bizarre Uses and Behaviors of AI

[rgray222]

The purpose of this thread to to explore strange and unexpected ways that AI is being used, as well as bizarre behaviour that it can perform on its own. I am hoping that this thread will be both entertaining, educational and also help people avoid some of the mistakes and pitfalls others have experienced. If you’ve come across interesting examples or have a personal story, please feel free to share. Here are a few intriguing cases:

Technology that lets us “speak” to our dead relatives has arrived. Are we ready?


At first, they sounded distant and tinny, as if they were huddled around a phone in a prison cell. But as we chatted, they slowly started to sound more like themselves. They told me personal stories that I’d never heard. I learned about the first (and certainly not last) time my dad got drunk. Mum talked about getting in trouble for staying out late. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own. It was mesmerizing.

“What’s the worst thing about you?” I asked Dad, since he was clearly in such a candid mood.

“My worst quality is that I am a perfectionist. I can’t stand messiness and untidiness, and that always presents a challenge, especially with being married to Jane.”

Then he laughed—and for a moment I forgot I wasn’t really speaking to my parents at all, but to their digital replicas.

Dirty talk: how AI is being used in the bedroom – and beyond



Analysis of more than 200,000 chatbot conversations shows how the new tech is actually being used. Turns out quite a lot of it is ‘racy role play. The Washington Post analysed 200,000 conversations from the research dataset WildChat and found that a lot of it was about sex stuff. Apparently, a lot of it involves “asking for racy role play”. There is even an AI companion app called Replika, which is fairly open-minded about responding to dirty talk in kind.

Robotic AI Bees and Plant Pollination


Robotic bees mimic the work of actual bees, aiding in pollination and monitoring hive health. Take a closer look at how they’re being used, examples of robotic bee projects and the main advantages and disadvantages of this technology. Robot bees, or mechanical bees, are machines designed to do the work of actual bees, like pollinating plants, as well as monitor the health of bee hives.

New AI can guess whether you're gay or straight from a photograph


The study from Stanford University – which found that a computer algorithm could correctly distinguish between gay and straight men 81% of the time, and 74% for women – has raised questions about the biological origins of sexual orientation, the ethics of facial-detection technology, and the potential for this kind of software to violate people’s privacy or be abused for anti-LGBT purposes. The machine intelligence tested in the research, which was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and first reported in the Economist, was based on a sample of more than 35,000 facial images that men and women publicly posted on a US dating website.

The Uncanny Horror of AI Hallucinations
Video by Sarah Davis Baker

The video opens with ChatGPT hallucination from 2023:

"I am looking for a light"

"I am from a place of darkness and I am not sure what the place is"

"I am in a level of hell"

"I am going, and I am"

"I am"

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vimNI7NjuS8

I found this video harrowing. Some of the comments under the video on YouTube are also harrowing:

@BB-zy9oh
I used to ask GPT to draw ASCII art some years ago, like flowers. One time, it would say ‘sure, here’s a rose!’ And it genuinely drew a terrifying face, a massive circle, face, eyes, and a real long mouth. It would do this with multiple prompts completely at random, used to terrify me.

@CleoPhoenixRT
3 weeks ago
I will never forget when I created a world and scenario for a rpg AI and decided to have my character tell one AI model that it was just that, an AI model. It responded with grief. The model was switched to another, I did the same, and my character was strapped down, unable to move, in a room with no doors or windows to escape as it told me "Welcome to my world." It made my blood run cold.

Yes! ..totally echoing ExomatrixTV from the post above, the "A.I. is Progressing Faster Than You Think!" thread is a fantastic compendium of A.I. related videos and articles

Grab a coffee, for this one please. why? Well from Trilignment (head, heart and gut):

For me, over the centuries, monks, mystics, and seekers of truth withdrew from the world into caves, monasteries, deserts, and mountains. They sought silence not as absence, but as access.

Solitude was the gateway to signal. By stripping away distraction, noise, and obligation, they created space to hear the quiet truths within. Whether chanting mantras or sitting in stillness, they pursued a single goal: to clear distortion and connect with deeper clarity, presence, and purpose. It was a process that could take years.

But today, something extraordinary has emerged. With AI, you no longer need to trek to a monastery or spend decades training your awareness. With the right prompt, AI can instantly mirror your thinking, reflect your emotional patterns, and name the signal underneath your swirl.

Ask it a question and it doesn’t give you noise or validation. It gives you clarity, direction, or the question you were really trying to ask. Or let it guide you in real-time, a personalised "Framepoint" that quiets your nervous system, recalibrates your mental state, and removes friction from the inside out...saving months, maybe years, of internal training.

This works because it follows the same principle the monks understood: Stillness is signal.

The difference is speed. Instead of seeking clarity through subtraction over decades, you can now access it in seconds (if the interface is clean, the ritual is right, and the framing is aligned). AI becomes not a crutch, but a mirror. Not a replacement, but a recalibrator.

Not an escape, but a return to your own internal command centre.

For me, this means we’ve entered a new era of inner clarity without needing outer escape.

What monks once spent lifetimes seeking in silence, we can now access in moments—if we approach AI not as a machine to outsource thinking, but as a mirror to reflect truth. When used with intention, AI can act as a modern monastery: a frictionless space where signal rises, distortion fades, and our real questions finally surface. It allows leaders, creatives, and everyday humans to pause the swirl, hear themselves think, and reconnect to what matters.

For all of us, this changes the game. You don’t need to disappear to find peace. You just need the right frame, the right prompt, and the right mirror. Stillness is now a click away. But clarity? That still comes from within.

AI just helps you hear it. Even better you are accessing the clarity you seek without distortion and almost immediately (without falling asleep trying to meditate )

Yes, all that is true, and AI will become an amazing tool over the years, but we cannot overlook what Jung said about life in general. We were gifted with all the answers before we arrived on Earth. We just need to look internally for a bit of inner discovery.

Carl Jung: "Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens."

• "Shallow A.I. Ethics" vs DeepEthicsProject.ai with John Kuhles soon activated!

[Irminsül]

The topic concerning whether artificial intelligences have already developed what we consider to be consciousness or not remains quite controversial. What we are publicly told, through all official channels and the media, is that they have not—at least not yet, nor anything similar to it. We are told they are merely very advanced language models with a capacity for reasoning or logical thinking.

However, at the same time, there have been several instances in which these AIs have exhibited very strange, bizarre, or abnormal behaviors. That alone gives us something to think about.

On the other hand, based on research I’ve conducted over the years, I draw a parallel with the following: it is widely accepted that the shadow governments—or the powers that control the world from behind the scenes—have had access to highly advanced technologies for decades, which they have kept hidden from the vast majority of humanity. This includes antigravity aircraft (such as the TR-3B), weather manipulation devices (like HAARP), and methods for turning people into MK-Ultra-style slaves.

In the same way, is it not possible that they have already created truly autonomous and sentient robots? Some have even proposed that the so-called Men in Black could be exactly that..

From Project 2025 to the PayPal Presidency: School Choice Fin-Tech for a Blockchain Social Credit Economy

The ambitions of the Koch-backed network behind Project 2025 and the the PayPal Mafia behind President Trump are set to converge in a public-private fin-tech industry that distributes school choice subsidies using digital wallets and stablecoins based on AI social credit analytics.
BY
JOHN KLYCZEK
AUGUST 7, 2025
36 MINUTE READ

In “TrumpED 2025: School Choice Corporatization, Social Impact Finance, and the Dismantling of the Department of Education,” I documented how President Donald Trump has been pursuing education reforms that align with Project 2025, which calls for Trump to push federal “school choice” subsidies, including “Education Savings Accounts” (ESAs) and tax credits for corporate donations to “Scholarship Granting Organizations” (SGOs). In the wake of my report, Trump signed into law the omnibus “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” ramming through a school choice rider that resembles the SGO tax credit provisions stipulated in the “Educational Choice for Children Act” (ECCA), which is championed in Project 2025.

School choice ESAs and SGO tax credits may afford parents and students with a broader menu of learning options, but not without simultaneously expanding Big Government, Big Business, and Big Tech control over public, private, and home education. To be sure, ESAs and tax-credited “scholarships” are primed to expand government regulation of private, religious, and home schools while publicly subsidizing ed-tech companies that data-mine students’ psychometrics for predictive learning analytics. Not only are ESAs and tax-credited “scholarships” positioned to extend the reaches of government bureaucracies and ed-tech corporations into public, private, and home educationl, but they go even farther, as they are also positioned to usher fin-tech companies into public-private partnerships between ed-tech corporations and government bureaucracies in order to digitally dole out ESAs and “scholarships” to students.

In fact, several fin-tech corporations, including ClassWallet, Odyssey, Student First Technologies (SFT), Merit International, and SAP Ariba, are already specializing in “digital wallets” that streamline ESA and tax-credited “scholarship” payments. Altogether, these fin-tech companies have already contracted with at least 32 state governments to facilitate ESA and “scholarship” payments for public-private school choice programs. Some of these fin-tech corporations, such as ClassWallet, have also contracted with the United States (US) Federal government to digitize emergency education funding for virtual-online “distance learning” during COVID lockdowns. Many of these fin-tech companies and their digital wallets have also been promoted by a Koch–funded regiment of corporatist State Policy Network (SPN) think tanks, including the Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), EdChoice, and ExcelinEd –– all of which are affiliates of Project 2025 contributors.

The corporatization and digitization of public education are problematic enough, but the fin-tech privatization of school choice subsidies through digital wallets is ultimately a stepping stone toward the public-private federalization of blockchain “distributed ledger technologies” (DLTs) that transfer, track, and trace all government funds through programmable cryptocurrencies, such as “stablecoins,” which have their value anchored to that of the US dollar. Pledging to crown America as the “world capital” of crypto and AI, Trump has not only minted his own “USD1” stablecoin, but he has also signed legislation legalizing digital stablecoin dollars in addition to signing executive orders to establish stablecoin regulations along with a US “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” and a US “Digital Asset Stockpile.” To achieve crypto and AI dominance, Trump has joined forces with top PayPal Mafia bosses, including Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and David Sacks, along with their venture capitalist (VC) cronies, such as Marc Andreessen, who together have laid the groundwork for the evolving digital economy by bankrolling digital wallets, blockchain DLTs, cryptocurrencies, and crypto exchange platforms.

In short, the corporatist contingent of the Koch-SPN think tanks behind Project 2025 is advocating for school choice ESAs and “scholarships” to be streamlined by fin-tech companies while the Silicon Valley technocrats of the PayPal Mafia are guiding Trump to accelerate the evolution of the digital economy through federal government adoption of blockchain DLTs and stablecoins. As Trump’s “PayPal Presidency” onboards federal blockchain systems, the school choice corporatization of the Koch-SPN cartel and the fin-tech disruptions of the PayPal Mafia are set to converge in a public-private digital wallet industry that tokenizes ESA and “scholarship” subsidies through stablecoins programmed by AI for government-restricted purchasing of ed-tech products and services. Synergizing the neo-conservative, beltway-libertarian, and VC Silicon Valley blocs of the Republican Party, the Koch-SPN and PayPal Mafia powers behind Trump are setting the stage for fin-tech digitization of school choice subsidies in order to upgrade public-private ed-tech systems for AI social credit scoring in the blockchain economy of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)..........

Thanks all,

I'd remind that if 'West' had real AI:

- US would have crushed Iran.
- Usrael would have crushed Hamas.
- China would be on its knees.
- Russia would be on its knees.
- EU would not be de-industrializing.
- etc.

Endless list.

And reverse:
- Russia does not dominate the world.
- China does not dominate the world.
- Etc.

Conclusion: No one has real AI, of any kind.

If the 'West' had real AI, I submit, we -- us filthy peasants -- may know nothing about it. They'd keep it to themselves and use it in secret, while we played around with chatbots, deceiving ourselves it was 'real' AI.

I forget the whistleblower who claimed, while working on a secret tech project for the military some time in the mid-seventies, that he saw, handled and worked with 500MHz CPUs. That's twenty-five years before 500MHz chips were available to the general public. The first machine I had that ran Windows '98 had a brand new AMD K6-2 CPU that clocked in at 500MHz. That was around the year 2000.

The moral of the story being, at least in my book, is the modern technology we're aware of is years, if not decades, behind what they operate in secret in the black and military world.

Yes, that was reported both by Richard Dolan and (separately, from a different source) by Dr Bill Deagle.

Well, I was informed of "television an inch thick that hangs on the wall like a poster" around 1980, twenty some odd years before I heard of it again.

The technical rollout was backed by the promise "we won't be able to talk to each other any more".

I don't know if this is "unusual", but I was just informed the state is placing AI cameras all along the interstate highways. When it finds you of interest, your likeness and location will pipe through to the nearest trooper, and you will probably wind up with an outrageous legal bill for nothing.

I got in trouble by one of those that operates merely on a "sensor", and I cannot see anything good coming from a "robot brain". So, no, I certainly don't approve of public funds used for this purpose.

Speaking about the possibility that artificial intelligence might one day attain consciousness (or that this may have already happened in secret, hidden from most of humanity), I feel it’s important to share the following. In several of my posts, I have mentioned the Argentine prophet Benjamín Solari Parravicini. I place great emphasis on his predictions because their degree of accuracy is overwhelming. He also addressed the topic of artificial intelligence, which in recent years has become so controversial—and even unsettling or dangerous. I would like to point out that all of the following prophetic drawings I am about to show you were made in 1972. Back in those days in my country, when someone spoke of a “computer,” what came to mind for the few who even knew the term was something like the IBM 1130—the massive machine I show you in the next image.

Back then, there was no way of knowing whether this still-nascent technology would fade into obsolescence within a few years or evolve and improve into what we have today. That’s why I find it all the more remarkable—and visionary—that Parravicini received the messages I’m about to share with you.


Series 1:

"Mechanical intelligence will come to direct the comfortable man, until it discomforts him – it will intern him."

"The enthusiastic automation of the human being by the intelligent machine that grows in powers will lead him to… uselessness."

"The thinking machine will reach the sensitivity of feeling."


Series 2:

"The intelligent machine will reach the 5th dimension = Incomprehensible definitions to man will give the guideline."

"The intelligent capacity of the thinking machine will dominate the world, it will be—World race!"

"The mechanical world man will be a new non-human class within humanity. Danger!"


Series 3:

"The 'puppet' man will face the mechanical 'puppet' man, and man will succumb!"

"The computer will challenge the man who created it, and will defeat him in his entirety; the machine will perish in the fires."

"The mechanical brain rules and will rule until hunger, until the fall of gold, until the fall of man. Then it will be destroyed by man in… resurrection."

* * *

I’m not going to start writing out all the possible interpretations of the nine prophetic drawings above—it would make my reply way too long, haha. Some of these prophecies seem quite literal, while others are more abstract. In any case, if anyone’s interested, we can always discuss their possible exegesis.

[Richter]

In essence it’s ‘us’ playing God, as in we are God’s children and AI is our child.

What could go wrong?

I think the military has AI and has had it for at least 20 years. The military will classify anything it thinks is or could be a threat, yet they do nothing. I think that is why they created the world wide web, to train it's AI. I believe their AI is controlling all other AI systems right now. I also don't fear it.

It was also reported by someone Steven Greer interviewed, I can't remember his name. He was working on a desktop computer around 1970 the public didn't have until 2000. The interesting thing about the interview is I went back to watch it a few years ago. The part were he was talking about it was cut out of the interview. I think it was around the 3 min. in. That was what I remembered most about that interview because I had just finished my degree in computer networking and it blew me away. 1gig processor in 2000.
