The generative AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Bard generate plenty of attention since users can ask them anything and get an answer even if some of the responses are dead wrong or based on outdated information. While many enjoy using an AI-enhanced search engine or don't mind that they just had a generative AI chatbot finish a 1,000-word report for them, the truth is that many are scared of the possibility that intelligent non-human programs will someday become sentient and take over the world.
A good example of this occurred just a couple of months ago when Snapchat's My AI feature started to act out of character by posting its own story showing the images of a wall and a ceiling. Only humans are allowed to post stories on the site leading one Snapchat user to write, "This is very weird and honestly unsettling." Snapchat blamed the whole thing on a glitch. By the way, Snapchat's My AI is powered by Open AI's ChatGPT.
