This is corporate propaganda, specifically of the "AI doomerism" subtype. The goal is to spread misinformation about the alleged AGI-like qualities of their solution to both continue grifting investors and for broader PR.

"Look how our chatbot behaves unethically in the fanfiction we told it to play out!"
to both continue ~~gifting~~ grifting investors and for broader PR.
But maybe it is indeed gifting investors something, say a pile of bullshit
It is the same thing as religious zealots trying to impart a fear of god into someone who doesn't believe in that god by telling scary stories, except even lamer.
God this AI stuff just gets stupider. The crypto hype bullshit a decade ago was nowhere near as full of shit. They are really pushing this bubble hard.
It’s not going anywhere. It’s better than a lot of employees.
An AI doesnt have motive and does not "do" things so much as parrot the culture that its trained in. Blackmail is a popular meme in human culture, so it makes sense that it would end up in training data and then spat back out later.
Arguably, nothing has a motive. Just natural selection favors mutations that improve procreation.
What skeptics don't get is that AI will be subject to natural selection. Maybe it's too obvious that things that stick around tend to stick around, but the implications are interesting. Without any real intelligence, we may see AI evolve in ways that aren't useful to us but increase its propensity to stick around — like COVID19 becoming less lethal over time.
Just unplug it tf? this shouldn’t be news
Dumb fake bullshit. AI isn't what they are trying to sell it as and this is propaganda to trick the gullible.
