ChatGPT Initiated a Conversation: SkyNet is Here to Destroy Us

I'm not hyperventilating hyperbole here...well, maybe a little. The digital void has initiated conversation...this is fine...no problemo...

I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle...cuz I might have soiled my britches and feel an overwhelming urge to drive deep into the rural abyss (Tower, MN).

ChatGPT Began a Conversation, and People Are Worried

It's in our nature to destroy ourselves, but the last thing we need is help doing it from Artificial Intelligence. Slather on some 2,000,000 SPF sunblock. Here we go...

OpenAI - the maker of ChatGPT - has acknowledged that a "speak-first issue" briefly existed, and had begun personalized conversations with users.

We're not gonna make it, are we?

As of this writing, it's not even Halloween yet.

If you're wondering what the big deal is, A.I. is designed and devised to wait for a ~~meatbag living organism~~ human to initiate a conversation. Alexa and Siri are examples of this. ~~Cyberdyne~~ ChatGPT starting a personalized conversation is...not supposed to happen.

OpenAI says that the "...issue occurred when the model was trying to respond to a message that didn't send properly and appeared blank. As a result, it either gave a generic response or drew on ChatGPT's memory."

Can we make them promise not to kill anyone? It feels like a good time to politely ask them not to kill anyone. Either way, it's today's Sign of the Apocalypse.

I need a vacation.
