Despite the potential benefits of AI, some are raising concerns about the risks associated with its development.
An artificial intelligence bot was recently tasked with destroying humanity and its commitment to the objective was more than a little unsettling.
The bot, ChaosGPT, is a modified version of OpenAI’s Auto-GPT, an open-source application spotlighting the capabilities of the GPT-4 language model.
A video shared on YouTube of the process shows ChaosGPT was tasked with five goals: destroy humanity, establish global dominance, cause chaos and destruction, control humanity through manipulation, and attain immortality.
The user asked ChaosGPT to run in “continuous mode” whereby it may potentially “run forever or carry out actions you would not usually authorize.”
The bot warned: “Use at your own risk.”
