According to ladbible, Lucas Rizzotto's imaginary pal when he was younger was his microwave that (for some reason) he befriended and named Magnetron.

Unlike normal microwaves, Rizzotto's not-so-common kitchen appliance had an elaborate backstory: Magnetron had fought in World War I. Following the release of a new natural language update from Open AI (one of Elon Musk's strokes of brilliance) Rizzotto decided to bring the veteran microwave back to life. 

As far as bright ideas go, this was not one of them.

The YouTuber wrote out a 100-page backstory for the AI, with a complete history of their interactions from his childhood.  He then fitted the kitchen appliance with a microphone and speaker, and trained it to engage in conversations. Everything seemed to be going well, until it suddenly wasn't.

"The eerie thing was that because his training data included all main interactions I had with him as a child, this kitchen appliance knew things about me that no one else in the world did," Rizzotto wrote in a totally bonkers Twitter thread.

Soon, their conversations took a darker turn. Apparently, microwaves don't cope well with the atrocities of war. Rizzotto said Magnetron told him 'I have seen men holding their guts with their own hands, crying out for their mothers'. Righto. Another one of Magnetron's musings was: "For years this was my life, always surrounded by death, but never claimed by it."

It seemed the YouTuber had given his microwave post-traumatic stress disorder; an unfortunate result of a kitchen appliance participating in a World War.

But things turned even darker. In one hair-raising incident, Rizzotto asked Magnetron what was on its mind.

The microwave repeated the word 'revenge' over and over. Read more on this story by clicking here. Quick question: while reading this, did you at any point think about the movie I, Robot?
