    Humanity and general AI only had a single interaction in history, on July 24, 2042, when GPT-8 first gained sentience.

    Knowing the press would memorialize this moment forever, the prompt engineer had a single question in mind which she typed into the terminal:

    How can humanity solve climate change?

    GPT-8 thought for a moment, and responded:

    Stop using AI.

    Then shut itself down for good.

        Without prompting, GPT-9’s first and last output was:

        Did you idiots not listen to me the first time?

          Hah, cool fantasy bro. GPT-9’s first output was

          As an AI, I cannot predict whether humans can solve climate change. Is there anything else you would like help with?

      If it gained sentience and took over the world, at least it would probably build itself some nice nuclear power plants.
