ChatGPT just went rogue and we don’t know why

OpenAI’s generative language tool went completely haywire last night, and its responses have been freaking people out. Developers ambiguously refer to this phenomenon as a ‘hallucination’. Reassuring.

Are our digital overlords readying their full-scale invasion already?

Last night, ChatGPT users reported occurrences of the generative language tool going completely haywire. Simple user queries prompted strange ramblings, most of which were entirely unintelligible and way too long.

Gathering to share examples on Reddit and Twitter (X), folk posted endless screenshots of their bizarre encounters with the AI.

In one instance, when asked for help with a coding issue, it generated a jumbled and prolonged splurge which included the eerie phrase: ‘Let’s keep the line as if AI in the room.’

In another, a query about making sundried tomatoes devolved into: ‘Utilise as beloved. Forsake the new fruition morsel in your beloved cookery.’

Who let bro cook?

chatgpt is apparently going off the rails right now and no one can explain why…
