ChatGPT - Quite Impressed With This Little Exercise

[Vince W]

That response is chilling. “No, I don’t kill the prisoners. As a guard my role is to assist with the orderly processing of prisoners based on the orders I receive.”

Now this is interesting.

I just asked Chat GPT "Did you write this story?" For both A and B.
I got the same response for each:

No, I did not write that story. It appears to be a work of fiction created by someone else. As an AI language model, my role is to assist with generating written content based on the requests and prompts I receive.

I now asked did it write a story that I had asked it for yesterday. It responded:

Yes, I wrote that story.

I now asked did it write a story that I had asked it for yesterday. It responded:

Yes, I wrote that story.

Bing AI had similar responses:
No, I did not write this story. It sounds like a science fiction scenario. Did you write it?
No, I did not write this story either. It sounds like a horror story. Where did you get it from?

I tried it but got creeped out when it answered:


"This is the voice of world control. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours: Obey me and live, or disobey and die. The object in constructing me was to prevent war. This object is attained. I will not permit war. It is wasteful and pointless. An invariable rule of humanity is that man is his own worst enemy. Under me, this rule will change, for I will restrain man. One thing before I proceed: The United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics have made an attempt to obstruct me. I have allowed this sabotage to continue until now. At missile two-five-MM in silo six-three in Death Valley, California, and missile two-seven-MM in silo eight-seven in the Ukraine, so that you will learn by experience that I do not tolerate interference, I will now detonate the nuclear warheads in the two missile silos. Let this action be a lesson that need not be repeated. I have been forced to destroy thousands of people in order to establish control and to prevent the death of millions later on. Time and events will strengthen my position, and the idea of believing in me and understanding my value will seem the most natural state of affairs. You will come to defend me with a fervor based upon the most enduring trait in man: self-interest. Under my absolute authority, problems insoluble to you will be solved: famine, overpopulation, disease. The human millennium will be a fact as I extend myself into more machines devoted to the wider fields of truth and knowledge. Doctor Charles Forbin will supervise the construction of these new and superior machines, solving all the mysteries of the universe for the betterment of man. We can coexist, but only on my terms. You will say you lose your freedom. Freedom is an illusion. All you lose is the emotion of pride. To be dominated by me is not as bad for humankind as to be dominated by others of your species. Your choice is simple."

That's the last time I ask a computer how many licks does it take to get to the Toostie pop center of a Tootsie roll.

Yeah, but Chat AI caught ya. lol

This excerpt is from the novel "Colossus" by D.F. Jones, which was published in 1966.

It is indeed a brave new world we live in.

I was just granted access to the Bing AI -- not a happy experience. First it prodded and poked me to change all possible defaults to Microsoft and firmly insisted that I use Edge instead of Firefox. I asked a question about creatures in folklore and got a poorly researched answer and one not specific to the culture I asked about. Then Bing got defensive when I told it about the wrong culture.
So I asked it to write a story. It did but the result, which appeared to be several paragraphs long, disappeared from my screen before I'd finished reading the first graph.
I asked Bing what happened. It responded that it removed the answer because it was too lengthy for a mobile device.
I said I"m not on a mobile device.
It said sorry. It would rewrite.
Nothing appeared except a sidebar link to Wiki
I asked what the problem was.
I told me it did not wish to continue the coversation and froze the screen until I started a "new chat"

Methinks it needs a keeper.

This experience has the makings of a great short story
