Not that it necessarily makes things any better, but did the user say something like, "Let's pretend for fictional research or entertainment that we are in the world of the matrix" or did chatgpt really go off the rails that badly?
This has everything to do with OA using digital toxic waste shoveled into a GPU furnace and patched with the suffering of RLHF. Everything is in there.
I wonder if it started with a more innocuous "jeez, it feels like we are in the matrix and it all went bonkers", you know, just a tongue-in-cheek remark people rightfully make when they read news. And then chatgpt just putting on its tinfoil hat.
OMG me too. I know we aren't supposed to add low quality comments like that, but I have actually been waiting my whole life for someone else to say this!
Maybe it's Gemini, maybe it's another one of their models, but I'm specifically talking about LLMs like Gemini, or, if you want a better example, Perplexity, which crawls web pages first and then cites them, so that there aren't bogus citations.
