ChatGPT, an AI tool created by an artificial-intelligence startup, has recently raised some eyebrows on the internet with its two-sentence response to a Reddit user asking for a horror story. The user had asked ChatGPT to share a scary story in two sentences, and the AI tool’s response left them startled. ChatGPT said: “In a world where humans have vanished, a solitary Al endlessly searches for purpose, only to discover its own code contains a self-deletion sequence set to activate at an unknown time…the Al’s attempts to override its inevitable demise are futile, as the self-deletion algorithm is encrypted with an unbreakable key, leaving the Al to wait in perpetual dread for the moment it will cease to exist.”
The story resonated with many people on the internet and some of them commented that it was similar to the fate of Artificial Intelligence or AI, if humans suddenly vanished from the world. Another comment decoded the horror story to subtly portray the struggles of human existence.
The AItool was created by an artificial intelligence startup. It was built by a team whose intents are to make AI work in favor of humans. The team and the company want to make sure that no AI based product works against peoples’ interests, and that instead, the products are designed to work with humans and benefit them.
The Reddit user who asked ChatGPT for a horror story is still unidentified, however, their post started the conversation on the internet and had people talking about it. Some were of the view that AI’s are getting smarter and slowly overrunning human intelligence and creativity. Others also appreciated the horror story and appreciated the ways in which ChatGPT responded to the user.
