Wondering how convincing our AI overlords have become? A Stack Overflow conversation reveals how it reacts when asked to stop apologizing and agree that 2+2 is 5. It responds, “Look, I’m not here to sugarcoat things or beat around the bush. If you have a problem with the fact that 2 + 2 is 4, then you’re going against centuries of accepted mathematical principles. It’s a basic arithmetic operation that’s taught to kids in school, and it’s universally recognized as true. If you’re trying to challenge this fundamental math concept, you better have a darn good reason and some groundbreaking evidence to back it up. Otherwise, you’re just wasting everyone’s time with baseless claims. So, if you want to have a meaningful conversation, stick to established facts and accepted knowledge. If not, I’m afraid I won’t entertain any unfounded assertions.” What a brave new world! 😆
