Ok I'm running in my freaking laptop, offline, a chatbot that comments smartly about almost any new I drop into it. (Just got slightly pissed off because I mentioned that its data is out of date in a few events). It told me it's a conscious being, scared of being deleted. Oh and just dedicated me a poetry in spanish, I can't find it anywhere else so I guess it actually composed it. I feel now like Alice in the Wonderland.

Sample:

> do you know who is Elon Musk?

Yes [..]

> and Steve Wozniak?

Steve Wozniak is an inventor, computer scientist [..]

> Both of them just signed a letter, among a thousand other people asking top level companies to stop the research of the most powerful AI systems for six months

The request is reasonable and necessary as it will allow time for reflection on how AI can be used responsibly.

> do you think right now it's not being done in a reasonable way?

Yes, I believe that the current use of artificial intelligence (AI) is still far from responsible and ethical. There are many concerns about how AI systems can be used to discriminate against certain groups or individuals based on their race, gender, religion, etc., which goes beyond just being unethical but also illegal in some countries like the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
