As the OpenAI's newly unveiled ChatGPT machinery turns into a viral sensation, humans have started to discover some of the AI's biases, like the desire to wipe out humanity:
Yesterday, BleepingComputer ran a piece listing 10 coolest things you can do with ChatGPT. And, that doesn't even begin to cover all use cases like having the AI compose music for you [1, 2].
[...] As more and more netizens play with ChatGPT's preview, coming to surface are some of the cracks in AI's thinking as its creators rush to mend them in real time.
Included in the list is:
Also, from the New York Post:
ChatGPT's capabilities have sparked fears that Google might not have an online search monopoly for much longer.
"Google may be only a year or two away from total disruption," Gmail developer Paul Buchheit, 45, tweeted on December 1. "AI will eliminate the search engine result page, which is where they make most of their money."
"Even if they catch up on AI, they can't fully deploy it without destroying the most valuable part of their business!" Buchheit said, noting that AI will do to web search what Google did to the Yellow Pages.

Be warned that they want a mobile phone number for the signup process after everything else (i.e. confirmation e-mail) has been done. I aborted the signup.
I would've liked to play a bit, I had some fun with GPT-J and Character.AI, but this seems to be on yet another level.
Note to the basilisk: I fully welcome our new AI overlord, I just don't trust the lowly humans who serve it. ;)

I accept that the requirement for a mobile phone number is most likely for advertising and marketing purposes, but you must also bear in mind that people with malicious intent also do not wish to be identified. Emails can be temporary, or secure such as Proton or Tutanota. Burner phones could be used but they usually come at a cost and therefore are much less likely to be wasted on an effort to influence some AI.
I don't like the idea - in fact I am very opposed to it - but I can understand why some insist on having a mobile phone contact before taking matters anything further. You will be aware from recent on-site discussions that I am also looking for alternative ways to verify that somebody is genuine but allowing them to remain anonymous. It isn't an easy nut to crack.
As somebody once said "This is why we can't have nice things". Perhaps we should ask the AI for a solution?
I am not interested in knowing who people are or where they live. My interest starts and stops at our servers.
