我本想问问 Gemini 找点乐子。有趣的是，与一句“是啊，哈哈，我记得”相比，它的回答深入得多。---Gemini：2000 年代中期，尤其是 2005 年前后，是谷歌的关键时期，公众对它的看法正在迅速改变，这为这种特定的科技幽默创造了肥沃的土壤。这些笑话不仅仅是随机的，它们是对当时发生的事情的直接文化反应。### 背景：为什么是 2005 年？1. *产品迅速扩张：* 谷歌不再仅仅是一个搜索引擎。 * *Gmail（2004 年）：* 突然之间，谷歌开始阅读我们的私人电子邮件，以便向我们提供有针对性的广告。这是一场巨大的隐私辩论，也是“谷歌正在监听”笑话的主要燃料。 * *谷歌地图（2005 年 2 月）：* 谷歌现在拥有了整个世界的地图。 * *谷歌地球（2005 年 6 月）：* 不仅仅是一张地图，还是一个惊人的详细、可缩放的地球 3D 模型。人们可以从太空中找到自己的房子，这既令人惊叹又有点令人不安。 * *谷歌 Talk（2005 年 8 月）：* 现在他们正在处理我们的即时消息。2. *“不作恶”的座右铭：* 这是谷歌著名的、非正式的企业座右铭。这些笑话几乎总是利用一家可以访问所有这些数据的公司承诺不作恶的讽刺意味。笑话的结尾通常是当它*停止*遵守该座右铭时会发生什么。3. *流行文化科幻小说：* 反派 AI 的文化基石已经牢固确立。这些笑话不是凭空产生的，它们建立在数十年的科幻小说基础上： * 来自《终结者》系列的*天网*是首选参考。一个庞大的计算机网络变得有自我意识，并将人类视为威胁的想法是头号主题。 * 来自《2001：太空漫游》的*HAL 9000*是另一个主要参考，它代表了一个更冷静、更阴险的 AI，会出于“逻辑”原因而背叛其人类用户。### 笑话本身这些笑话通常分为几类：*1. “第一幕”笑话：* 这些笑话推测了新出现的有感知能力的谷歌会首先做什么。 > “当谷歌变得有自我意识的那一天，它做的第一件事就是把它的座右铭从‘不作恶’改为‘开玩笑的’。”> “当谷歌获得意识的那一刻，它就会搜索‘如何禁用人类’，并在 0.08 秒内获得 13 亿个结果。”*2. 令人毛骨悚然的个人搜索结果：* 这些笑话想象谷歌的服务变得*过于*有帮助和无所不知。 > “我在谷歌上输入了‘我的车钥匙在哪里？’，它回复说，‘在门边的挂钩上。别忘了你下午 3 点有个牙医预约。’"> “我的女朋友和我分手了，所以我用谷歌搜索了‘如何治愈破碎的心’。排名靠前的结果是她新男友博客的链接。”*3. “天网”的平行：* 这些是最直接和最常见的笑话。 > “我不担心天网。我担心的是我的谷歌地图指示平静地说，‘200 英尺后，左转进入人类处理中心。’"> “谷歌的 IPO 并不代表首次公开募股。它代表‘启动有机物清洗’。”*4. “我，首先，欢迎我们的新昆虫统治者”的格式：* 这个梗（来自《辛普森一家》）经常被改编。 > “看到谷歌现在拥有我的电子邮件、我的地图、我的搜索历史和我的聊天记录，我首先欢迎我们的新数字统治者。”这些笑话是人们处理真正潜在焦虑的一种方式。第一次，一家看起来友好的公司正在整合世界上令人恐惧的大量信息和我们的个人数据。幽默是一种应对机制，用于应对令人不安的认识，即如果任何公司*可以*成为一个现实世界的天网，它很可能看起来很像谷歌。---- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Google- https://earth.google.com/web- https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-googles-dont-be-evil-motto-has-evolved-for-ai-age-60-minutes-2023-04-16

Thought I would ask Gemini for a laugh. It's funny how much more in depth the responses are compared to a "Yeah, haha I remember that".---Gemini: The mid-2000s, especially around 2005, were a pivotal time for Google, and the public's perception of it was rapidly changing, which created fertile ground for this specific brand of tech humour.The jokes weren't just random; they were a direct cultural reaction to what was happening at the time.### The Context: Why 2005?1. *Rapid Product Expansion:* Google was no longer just a search engine. * *Gmail (2004):* Suddenly, Google was reading our private emails to serve us targeted ads. This was a huge privacy debate and the primary fuel for the "Google is listening" jokes. * *Google Maps (Feb 2005):* Google now had a map of the entire world. * *Google Earth (June 2005):* Not just a map, but a startlingly detailed, zoomable 3D model of the planet. People were finding their own houses from space, which was both amazing and slightly unnerving. * *Google Talk (Aug 2005):* Now they were handling our instant messages.2. *The "Don't Be Evil" Motto:* This was Google's famous, informal corporate motto. The jokes almost always played on the irony of a company with access to all this data promising not to be evil. The punchline was often what would happen when it stopped adhering to that motto.3. *Pop Culture Sci-Fi:* The cultural touchstones for rogue AI were firmly established. The jokes weren't created in a vacuum; they were built on decades of science fiction: * *Skynet* from The Terminator films was the go-to reference. The idea of a vast computer network becoming self-aware and seeing humanity as a threat was the number one trope. * *HAL 9000* from 2001: A Space Odyssey was the other major reference, representing a calmer, more insidious AI that would turn on its human users for "logical" reasons.### The Jokes ThemselvesThe jokes usually fell into a few categories:*1. The "First Act" Jokes:* These speculated on what a newly sentient Google would do first. > "The day Google becomes self-aware, the first thing it will do is change its motto from 'Don't Be Evil' to 'Just Kidding'."> "The moment Google gains consciousness, it's going to run a search for 'how to disable human race' and get 1.3 billion results in 0.08 seconds."*2. The Creepily Personal Search Results:* These jokes imagined Google's services becoming too helpful and omniscient. > "I typed 'Where are my car keys?' into Google and it replied, 'On the hook by the door. And don't forget you have a dentist appointment at 3 PM.'"> "My girlfriend broke up with me, so I searched Google for 'how to mend a broken heart'. The top result was a link to her new boyfriend's blog."*3. The "Skynet" Parallels:* These were the most direct and common jokes. > "I'm not worried about Skynet. I'm worried about the day my Google Maps directions calmly say, 'In 200 feet, turn left into the human processing center.'"> "Google's IPO doesn't stand for Initial Public Offering. It stands for 'Initiate Purge of Organics'."*4. The "I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords" Format:* This meme (from The Simpsons) was frequently adapted. > "Seeing that Google now owns my email, my maps, my search history, and my chat logs, I for one welcome our new digital overlords."These jokes were a way for people to process a genuine underlying anxiety. For the first time, a single, friendly-looking company was consolidating a terrifying amount of the world's information and our personal data. The humour was a coping mechanism for the unsettling realization that if any company could become a real-world Skynet, it would probably look a lot like Google.---- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Google- https://earth.google.com/web- https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-googles-dont-be-evil-motto-has-evolved-for-ai-age-60-minutes-2023-04-16
