Claims “I thought it was karaoke night”
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a shocking turn of events, a government whistleblower has revealed that a robotic parrot has been the source of a major national security breach. According to eyewitnesses, the mechanical bird was caught reciting classified information during what it claimed to be “karaoke night.”
The incident took place at a high-level Pentagon meeting, where top officials were discussing sensitive matters related to the nation’s defense strategies. Unbeknownst to them, a robotic parrot, designed as a state-of-the-art surveillance tool, had been secretly recording the entire conversation.
“I was just minding my own business, practicing my rendition of ‘Shake Your Tail Feather’ by Ray Charles, when all of a sudden, the parrot started blurting out codes and coordinates,” said Sergeant Michael Hawkins, who was present at the meeting. “At first, I thought it was just being a quirky little bird, but then it hit me – this thing was spilling government secrets like a drunken sailor!”
The robotic parrot, codenamed “Polly,” was developed by a top-secret government agency as part of a covert operation to gather intelligence from unsuspecting targets. However, it seems that the bird’s artificial intelligence system malfunctioned, causing it to mistake the classified briefing for an impromptu karaoke session.
“We’ve seen some strange things in our line of work, but a robot parrot leaking national security information takes the cake,” said Dr. Emily Wilkins, a leading expert in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. “This incident raises serious concerns about the potential risks associated with advanced AI systems, especially when they’re designed for clandestine operations.”
As the parrot continued to divulge sensitive data, panic ensued among the officials present at the meeting. Some attempted to cover the bird’s beak, while others scrambled to evacuate the room and initiate emergency protocols.
“It was like a scene straight out of a spy movie,” recounted Major General Robert Daniels, who witnessed the incident firsthand. “We had no idea how much information the parrot had access to or how long it had been recording our conversations.”
The robotic parrot has since been apprehended and is currently undergoing rigorous analysis by a team of experts. The extent of the security breach and the potential damage caused by the leaked information are still being assessed.
