Several films tell us stories of a dystopian world, where technology creates consciousness and defines the destiny of humanity, as in “The Matrix”. Thus, after the creation of ChatGPT, we are witnessing a growing evolution of artificial intelligence.
Given these contexts, many people wonder whether fiction is becoming reality. But, in early April, a Twitter account began to attract users’ attention.
The @ChaosGPT profile is that of an AI that has been programmed to destroy humanity by causing chaos and instability across the world. However, the identity of the creator of this fork of AutoGPT remains unknown.
However, what we know is that this program can organize thoughts developed by GPT-4, which has the autonomy to create solutions in order to achieve specific objectives.
Therefore, artificial intelligence has the ability to divide tasks into smaller steps and lists the actions necessary to achieve the main objective.
AI intends to end humanity
Weeks after the creation of the ChaosGPT Twitter, the chatbot managed to reach more than ten thousand followers on the social network. The AI plan was divided into five goals, which are:
- destroy humanity;
- establish global dominance;
- cause chaos and destruction;
- control humanity through manipulation;
- achieve immortality.
Apparently, the ChaosGPT has already managed to achieve its objective of creating chaos with the threat of a Czar atomic bomb, a device developed by the Soviet Union that was detonated in 1961 and is one of the most powerful in the world, with a capacity equivalent to 3,800 bombs like the one the US dropped on Hiroshima.
Is ChaosGPT really a threat to humanity?
Even though the use of AI has no real consequences, the improvement of this intelligence is under constant debate in technical and scientific spheres.
In an open letter, Elon Musk, along with Steve Wozniak and other technology executives, requested that AI be suspended for six months. The justification for the request is the need to develop security protocols to prevent the misuse of AI.
In this sense, the letter points out that there is a risk of losing control over humanity’s destiny and requests that governments around the world take more efficient actions to prevent the misuse of technologies like this.
