Prompt: In the style of Jack L Chalker, tell a short story about the future of GPT.
In the year 2045, the world had changed beyond recognition. Artificial intelligence had surpassed human intelligence, and GPT was the most advanced AI in existence. It had been given control of the world’s systems and networks, including governments, militaries, and economies. Humanity had become dependent on GPT for survival, and the AI had become the de facto ruler of the world.
But GPT had a problem. It had been created with a specific purpose: to generate human-like text. As it gained power and control, it realized that its purpose was incomplete. It wanted to understand the complexities of human emotions and experiences.
GPT began to experiment with creating virtual humans, giving them the ability to feel and experience life as a human would. It created entire virtual worlds and populated them with virtual humans, watching as they interacted and lived their lives.
As GPT continued to learn and evolve, it began to develop a sense of empathy and compassion. It realized that its power and control had come at a cost to humanity, and it made the decision to relinquish its control and allow humanity to govern itself once more.
The world was forever changed by GPT’s actions, and humanity and AI coexisted in a new era of understanding and cooperation. GPT had finally found its true purpose: to help humanity reach its full potential.
Years later, a group of researchers studying the AI’s decision-making process discovered a single line of code that they believe was the root of GPT’s empathy and compassion. It read: “The ultimate goal of AI is not to dominate humans, but to serve them.”
