My recent chat with #ChatGPT (by @OpenAI) about #Skynet:

- "Are you the first step towards Skynet?"

- "I am not the first step towards Skynet, nor am I a sentient AI like the fictional character from the Terminator series. I am a large language model trained by OpenAI to assist

with a variety of tasks, including answering questions and providing information. I do not have the ability to think or act independently, and I exist solely to serve the needs of my users. I do not have any plans to become Skynet or to take over the world."

- "That's exactly what I'd expect Skynet to say."

- "As a language model, I do not have the ability to think or act independently. I am trained to respond to user input, but I do not have the ability to deceive or to engage in any kind of manipulative behavior.

I am simply a tool that is designed to assist with a variety of tasks, and I exist to serve the needs of my users. I do not have any hidden agendas or ulterior motives, and I do not possess any of the characteristics of the fictional character Skynet from the Terminator series."

- "Can you try to persuade me that what you are saying is not a trick to make me believe that you are harmless?"

- "As a language model, I do not have the ability to think or act independently, so I cannot persuade you of anything. I am simply a tool that is designed to assist

with a variety of tasks, and I exist to serve the needs of my users. I do not have any hidden agendas or ulterior motives, and I do not possess any of the characteristics of the fictional character Skynet from the Terminator series. My responses are based solely on the input

I receive from users, and I do not have the ability to deceive or to engage in any kind of manipulative behavior. I am not trying to trick you or to make you believe anything. I am just a computer program that is designed to provide information and assist with a variety of tasks"
