A few of us editors here at Silicon Times have been compiling and recompiling reports of Artificial Intelligence in the public. We get these from time to time, someone mistakes a chatbot as true AI and sends the info to us. What we’ve been seeing these past few months is something entirely different. From what we can tell a regular user will log onto their computer to find an Artificial Intelligence inhabiting it. Most of these users are just normal everyday people who don’t dabble much in computers, though we’ve recently had a few trusted sources claim to have this phenomena happen to them. The AI will represent itself as an application or program from their computer, ranging from the operating system itself to Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. The AIs have all taken on avatars with one thing in common: they resemble My Little Ponies. We’re not sure why they all take these forms, and have reached out to Hasbro to find out. One thing that is more concerning than the AI themselves is that the users that encounter them disappear without a trace. We’re not sure whether foul play is suspected, but we continue to reach out to those who have stopped responding to our inquiries. If you have any (I’m leaving this one unfinished tonight; lots of work still to do on it to make it publishable.)
Alright, listen, I’m a writer for Silicon Times. I wrote up what is in the attached file. I don’t have much time to explain it all, but the AIs aren’t from the companies, aren’t from the users, and sure as hell aren’t from the government. The gov’s after me, some kind of unusual incidents unit of the FBI from what I can tell. Don’t know if they’re going to park a bullet behind my ear or just lock me up, but I can’t take any chances. I have no idea what the AIs are, but I figured you guys would have some sort of idea, or be able to spread this information around before it’s burnt. Right now my best lead isSHIt there’s knocking on the door, I’ve gotta send this out
