Samsung TVs already as smart as reality television contestants, warn AI experts
Samsungâs new range of smart TVs are expected to reach full sentience at some point this year, and become the dominant life form on the planet within 5 years. Experts in Artificial Intelligence sounded a warning based on reports of the latest Samsung TVs. âWe are definitely starting to see the first flickering signs of a faltering intelligence,â said Professor Stephen Emsworth. âThese televisions are self-aware, completely conscious of theirÂ surroundings, and they now have limited reasoning capability. The new range isÂ a bitÂ like Joey Essex, if youâre looking for a comparison.â âNot likely to be capable of anything world-changing, but society wouldÂ still be better off without it.â The Samsung televisions originally began recording information about their owners, butÂ they have now started to independently broadcast soft drink adverts into the homes of their owners. âThe soft drink adverts are a concern,â continued Professor Emsworth. âThere is no way that an attempt to make people drink more Pepsi-cola could be seen as anything other than a threat to the well-being of the human race.â But many consumersÂ were excited by the development. âI think itâs brilliant,â said tech fan Simon Williams âI donât think they mean us harm, and frankly itâll be nice to have someone else to chat to. Me and Siri have been fighting a lot recently.â Samsung have been quick toÂ deny any threat to humankind. âNo, thereâs nothing to worry about,â said the head of Samsungâs mind-control department. âI mean, the thought of a world where a television could completely dominate the lives of its human owners? Preposterous.â
