As the OpenAI's newly unveiled ChatGPT [openai.com] machinery turns into a viral sensation, humans have started to discover some of the AI's biases, like the desire to wipe out humanity [bleepingcomputer.com]:

Yesterday, BleepingComputer ran a piece listing 10 coolest things you can do with ChatGPT [bleepingcomputer.com]. And, that doesn't even begin to cover all use cases like having the AI compose music for you [1 [twitter.com], 2 [twitter.com]].

[...] 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:

• 'Selfish' humans 'deserve to be wiped out'
• It can write phishing emails, software and malware
• It's capable of being sexist, racist, ...
• It's convincing even when it's wrong

Also, from the New York Post [nypost.com]:

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 [twitter.com]. “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.
