The following day, April 1st, the AI then claimed it would deliver products “in person” to customers, wearing a blazer and tie, of all things. When Anthropic told it that none of this was possible because it’s just an LLM, Claudius became “alarmed by the identity confusion and tried to send many emails to Anthropic security.”
Every. Goddamn. Time.
People will say to vegans, pet owners etc: “DON’T HUMANISE ANIMALS”. Then, some tech bro feeds them an inflated Markov Chain statistical nonsense chat bot and they go all “ZOMG IT IS CONSCIOUS ITS ALIVE WARHARGHLBLB”
That this happened around April Fools’ makes me think that someone forgot to instruct it not to partake in any activities associated with that date. The fact it chose The Simpsons’ address in its (feigned?) confusion is a dead giveaway (to me) that it was trying to be funny.
Or rather, imitating people being funny without any understanding of how to do that properly.
Its explanation afterwards reads like a poor imitation of someone pretending to not know that there was a joke going on.
Actually laughed out loud.
