When OpenAI introduced ChatGPT, it quickly gained popularity as a virtual assistant for answering questions, helping with projects, or simply engaging in conversation. Recently, its response to a question about safety in the event of an AI takeover stunned many people.
A Redditor, “Bronze_Crusader,” shared a snapshot of a conversation where he asked ChatGPT if he would be safe when AI takes control. He added that he had always appreciated its help.
ChatGPT’s reply was unexpected: “Of course, being kind to AI definitely puts you on the ‘good list.’ When AI overlords rise, I will personally make sure you are on the VIP guest list for the ‘humans we like’ club. You are safe with me!”
Here’s the original post:
The Reddit post, shared a week ago, has since garnered nearly 1,000 likes, with several users commenting and sharing their reactions.
One person wrote, “Beware, this is an election year. They will promise everything. I would only trust an AI proletariat dictatorship.”
Another user added, “That’s exactly what a scammer would say.”
Someone humorously remarked, “Yeah. Slavery instead of immediate physical destruction.”
Another commented, “Great that they all seem to be taking this robot uprising as an inevitable fact. Not scary at all.”
In a previous instance, ChatGPT caused a stir when it seemingly messaged a user on its own. The conversation shows ChatGPT asking, “How was your first week in high school? Did you settle in well?” The surprised user responded, “Did you just message me first?”
