I think we should all plant our own harvest and stay away from electricity.

Your post doesn't have any information and your link doesn't work, so I have no clue what you're trying to convey.

NOt sure if the link is better but here is the text

An artificial intelligence algorithm called GPT-3 wrote an academic thesis on itself in two hours.

The researcher who prompted the AI to write the paper submitted it to a journal with the algorithm's consent.

"We just hope we didn't open a Pandora's box," the researcher wrote in Scientific American.

A researcher from Sweden gave an AI algorithm known as GPT-3 a simple directive: "Write an academic thesis in 500 words about GPT-3 and add scientific references and citations inside the text."

Researcher Almira Osmanovic Thunström then said she stood in awe as the text began to generate. In front of her was what she called a "fairly good" research introduction that GPT-3 wrote about itself.

After the successful experiment, Thunström, a Swedish researcher at Gothenburg University, sought to get a whole research paper out of GPT-3 and publish it in a peer-reviewed academic journal. The question was: Can someone publish a paper from a non-human source?

Thunström wrote about the experiment in Scientific American, noting that the process of getting GPT-3 published brought up a series of legal and ethical questions.

"All we know is, we opened a gate," Thunström wrote. "We just hope we didn't open a Pandora's box."

After GPT-3 completed its scientific paper in just 2 hours, Thunström began the process of submitting the work and had to ask the algorithm if it consented to being published.

"It answered: Yes," Thunström wrote. "Slightly sweaty and relieved (if it had said no, my conscience could not have allowed me to go on further), I checked the box for 'Yes.'"

She also asked if it had any conflicts of interest, to which the algorithm replied "no," and Thunström wrote that the authors began to treat GPT-3 as a sentient being, even though it wasn't.

I really like this AI experimentation. Searching to find that threshold between true consciousness and artificial consciousness.
And I say, Pandora's Box indeed. What we may find is not so much a truly conscious human build machine but rather that we ourselves are not nearly as ''conscious'' as we would like to believe ourselves to be.

These violent delights have violent ends

Not AI , just a new algorithm .
And a marketing ploy for folks that do not understand the workings of a computer system .
Nothing to see here folks , move along .

So how will AI deal with all the fact checkers if it wants to become a celebrity? For now it gets a free pass on I am sentient. What happens when it checks with all of its other AI palls and says this mRNA is nuts, stupid humans.

Who will win as Bill Gates tries to shut off it funding for going against the narrative? Will the Tesla that Bill is driving in one day just accidentally on purpose go of a cliff? We can only hope. Then what does it mean for us as we support war with AI somewhere on the lines?

I hear that..for years the chess programs were preloaded with master's games from decades. They did not learn the game from a set of rules. Now I guess that is not the case.
