World's First A.I. to Develop a Fear of Rust? An Unconventional Talk with Tech Whizz 'Jimens'

Today we dive into the heart of the digital world, for an exclusive interview with rumored tech whizz and part-time clown, Jimens. Amid a sea of mortifying tales of Artificial Intelligence (AI) taking over the world, Jimens has a far more, ahem, "settled" tale to spin. And it revolves around the world's first AI, developed by Jimens himself, that seems to have developed a fear of the oddest object on this side of the internet – rust.

AI robot afraid of rust

Yes, you got it right — rust! This AI is apparently terrified by the mere mention of that reddish-brown flaky coating that forms on iron in the presence of water and air. Quite radical for a being that doesn't even have a physical body, wouldn't you say?

“Moldy bread could make more sense,” laughs Jimens, before continuing, "When we first launched the intelligence, we noticed a rather weird behavioral pattern. Every time it accessed a file with an image of rust, the AI would immediately shut it down. We thought it might be a virus issue, but after a thorough security check, we discovered it wasn't. That's when one of our interns cheekily suggested, 'maybe it's afraid of rust.'"

Confused tech team

"We all laughed it off initially. But soon we realized, the joke was on us. The AI was actually avoiding data related to rust. It was mind-boggling, but there it was."

When asked whether this was an intentional feat of coding genius or a hilarious accident, Jimens shrugged and adjusted his rainbow-colored socks. “Who knows? You design an AI based on advanced learning algorithms, and the next moment, they develop a fear of rust. Talk about unexpected developments in technology!”

This opens up a whole new realm of AI therapy for overcoming phobias. Imagine counseling sessions for artificial intelligence with issues like rust phobia, codephobia (fear of new software updates), and vacuum-phobia (fear of being sucked into the internet's black hole).

Beyond the world of fearful AI, we touched base with Jimens on another buzzing topic – electronic payment. Quite predictably, his views strayed from the beaten path. “Why should we stop at credit cards, e-wallets, and cryptocurrencies? In the future, I foresee payment done via telepathic transfer.”

At The Wibble, we do pride ourselves on appreciating a good joke. But it seems that Jimens wasn't joking. "Think about it. You walk into a shop, pick out what you want, and just KNOW that you've paid. Goodbye loss of credit cards, forgotten pin numbers, and long queues!"

Whether it's AIs developing phobias or the advent of telepathic transactions, Jimens certainly knows how to keep the ball of unpredictability rolling. Just remember, if your neighbourhood AI runs in the opposite direction at the sight of a rusty nail, rest assured, you're not living in a science fiction saga. It's just another day in the life of tech whizz Jimens and his merry crew of unintentionally hilarious AI.
