I can't find it right now, but a chatbot that did quite well on Turing tests maybe 25-ish years ago was one that just took offense to whatever you said and started insulting you.

[edit]

Not sure if it was this one, but it is from over 30 years ago: https://humphryscomputing.com/Turing.Test/08.chapter.html

From the conclusion, a message that's applicable today:

"To date, AI has been held back, we argue, by the need for a single lab, even a single researcher, to fully understand the components of the system. As a result, only small minds have been built so far. The WWM argues that we must give up this dream of full understanding as we build more and more complex systems. And giving up this dream of full understanding is not a strange thing to do. It is what has always happened in other fields. It is how humanity has made its most complex things."

Now I am imagining a conversational AI exclusively trained on transcripts from Halo matches, scary.

That said I have always felt like AI (and adjacent) has been lacking an appropriate amount of snark - when I take a wrong turn I feel like the GPS voice needs a bit more 'learn to drive dumb###' and a little less 're-routing'.

I once dated a Navteq employee who took particular offense at me missing turns while using a GPS unit that contained POI data she collected during the course of her job.

A simulacrum of that experience would probably be more amusing than the real thing.
