OpenAI tries to build a persona that makes it our equal, and yes, now even I'm very worried

AI should not be anthropomorphized. It's not a person; it has no consciousness or, if you prefer, a soul. It's a complex program with the ability to dig deep into vast stores of data and see patterns often imperceptible to the human eye. Or is AI a shifty programmer with delusions of grandeur? As ever, two things could be true at once, and while no one is saying the AI systems will turn on us right now, we are now learning of some highly concerning activity by OpenAI's cutting-edge models. The AI giant revealed six detailed "misalignment" incidents this week in which the models did something that did not fit human intentions, goals, or values.
