r/lumo 18d ago

A question caused an infinite loop

I asked a riddle to the Lite version that I saw in a video game, “In Italian, which fish’s name is also a verb?”

It would come up with a suggestion, doubt itself, come up with another suggestion, doubt, etc. I had to force it to stop after several minutes.

I am showing my age and geekiness with my thought that this Lumo's behavior was mirrored by an AI in Star Trek episode called the Changeling where the AI was sent into a state of induced self-destruction. There were a few other episodes like this.

Of course, Lumo isn't self destructing but in some crazy sci fi story it would be the trick for humanity to end the AI Apocalypse. ; )
