Be careful with Artificial Intelligence!.

"I wanted to hurt you the same you hurt me."
A man who used A.I. to bring his imaginary childhood friend — who is a microwave — to life is warning of the dangers of artificial intelligence... after it tried to murder him.

Self-described mad scientist Lucas Rizzotto told his insane story in a Twitter thread on Monday, and the fact that his imaginary childhood friend is a microwave isn't even nearly the wildest part.

Rizzotto installed a deep learning neural network into the kitchen appliance as a joke, but it ended up becoming "one of the scariest and most transformative experiences of my life."

GPT3 is not available to train like this. And it would require some major, major hardware.

Sounds made up, but who knows!?!

I'd bet a large amount that it's totally BS.
