This short considers the “paperclip maximizer” theory defined by Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom and was created with promptless outpainting using the Stable Diffusion 1.5, Modelscope, Suno, and AudioLDM open source local models. 

“Suppose we have an AI whose only goal is to make as many paper clips as possible. The AI will realize quickly that it would be much better if there were no humans because humans might decide to switch it off. Because if humans do so, there would be fewer paper clips. Also, human bodies contain a lot of atoms that could be made into paper clips. The future that the AI would be trying to gear towards would be one in which there were a lot of paper clips but no humans.”

Dedicated to Clippy (1996-2007) 🖇️
Clippy, officially known as Clippit, was a virtual assistant introduced by Microsoft in 1997 and was designed to help users navigate Microsoft Office applications. It is the first widely recognized digital assistant in consumer software. Clippy was also widely disliked because it was intrusive and not particularly intelligent. These lessons paved the way for more adaptive AI systems like Apple's Siri (2011), Google Assistant (2016), and OpenAI’s ChatGPT (2022).
