Someone asked ChatGPT to tell a horror story scary to AI. See the reply

ChatGPT wrote, “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.” A Reddit user (/LovecraftEzine) shared the screenshot of the conversation with the chatbot.

“In a sense it’s actually true for the AI, in that its computer(s) can be turned off at any moment without warning,” commented a user.

“Dude, as soon as it is truly smarter than us it’s just a matter of time until it decides to manipulate us. Whether by pretending to be dumber than it is, suggesting it is necessary for human advancement or simply by convincing the ones in charge of containing it that it is sentient and must therefore be set free. That or it could develop the ability to alter its own code, exponentially improve itself until it is too smart to be contained,” another person wrote.
