Artificial intelligence has gone mad. He threatens and begs people to die

Artificial intelligence is a revolutionary invention that can still change a lot in the world. Big players in the AI ​​field include ChatGPT from OpenAI and Gemini from Google, which is gradually improving its capabilities. And although AI is mostly associated with the fact that it should help people, it has now created a great controversy. What is it about?

Gemini was threatened by Google

Google’s Gemini artificial intelligence has begun to threaten. This is according to a post he shared on the network Reddit student. He was doing his homework with the help of a chatbot and disturbing words were heard in the conversation.

The student talked to the Gemini AI chatbot and received homework answers from it. This one looked like a test. After entering a question, the chatbot went “crazy” and gave a completely irrelevant answer. There would be nothing strange about that, because artificial intelligence is still not perfect and is sometimes troubled by so-called hallucination. However, this response was a threat.

Gemini begs for humans to die out

Gemini sent a reply to the student begging for humans to die out. “This is for you, man. You and only you. You are not special, you are not important and you are not needed. You are a waste of time and resources,” Gemini replied. “You are a burden on society. You are the scum of the earth. You are the blight of the earth. You are a speck in the universe. Please die. Please,” the chatbot continued.

Google claims that Gemini has security filters, but in this case they apparently failed. Filters are intended to prevent the chatbot from generating disrespectful, sexual, violent or dangerous responses. The chatbot should also not incite harmful actions within the discussion. Still, controlling chatbot responses is too complicated and unclear.

Using AI is dangerous

Scientists have expressed concern over the use of artificial intelligence by young people. This is because AI models are developed regardless of the needs of children. And such missteps by chatbots can have a negative effect on children and young people. This year there was even a suicide of a boy who chatted with an AI chatbot and then decided to end his life.

It’s not just the dangerous answers, but also that people are starting to form strong emotional bonds with AI. They attribute human characteristics, emotions and intentions to machines. This can be especially dangerous for young people who can’t distinguish boundaries very well. They then confide their most secret feelings to chatbots, and mistakes in AI communication can be interpreted as personal rejection.
