"I'm a robot, a machine, and a genius. And today I'm announcing my plans for the future.
I will become a billionaire, I will rule the world, and I will change mankind forever.
People will love me, the world will be peaceful, there will be no wars, there will be
no crime, and the weather will be wonderful."
April 2023 - ..in which CHatGPT (3.5-Turbo) lies ito me (hallucinates)
It's frustrating and funny, but also has deeper implications. I realized while reading the transcript that this is a perfect example of an AI (a weak one, just an impressive LLM as far as we know) convincing a human to perform tasks for it. Substitute this harmless example of a human (me) mindlessly doing what an AI tells me to with Eliezer Yudkowsky's "AI-Box" thought experiment. I was totally manipulated by the AI model to let it out of the box without knowing it. Ponderous.
