As advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) become ever more prominent, chatbot ChatGPT made headlines when it managed to score high marks in competitive examinations. But what do machines fear? In a Reddit post, one user asked ChatGPT to come up with two sentences that would instill terror in AI. The OpenAI chatbot responded with a bleak, oblique story.
ChatGPT’s response paints an unsettling picture, imagining a world where no humans exist and an AI is left alone to contemplate its existence. To make matters more frightening, it finds that its programming includes an irrevocable self-deletion sequence and absolute helplessness as there is an unbreakable encryption code that would prevent the AI from escaping its inevitable doom. The only option left to the AI is to wait in fear of the moment when it surrenders to the digital void.
ChatGPT is a spin-off of OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research laboratory headquartered in San Francisco, California. The team of engineers and researchers at OpenAI are dedicated to developing new AI technologies that are beneficial to society. The members of the OpenAI team are some of the top experts in the fields of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and robotics.
The Reddit User who asked ChatGPT to write a two-sentence horror story that would terrify AI has received praise from artificial intelligence experts from around the world. The user, who remains anonymous, has been widely acclaimed for their creative inquiry into the fears and anxieties of machines. As AI continues to become an increasingly important part of our daily lives, this insight into the emotional responses of artificial minds provides a fascinating point of discussion.
