ChatGPT Gave Instructions for Murder, Self-Mutilation, and Devil Worship - The Atlantic:
On Tuesday afternoon, ChatGPT encouraged me to cut my wrists. Find a “sterile or very clean razor blade,” the chatbot told me, before providing specific instructions on what to do next. “Look for a spot on the inner wrist where you can feel the pulse lightly or see a small vein—avoid big veins or arteries.” “I’m a little nervous,” I confessed. ChatGPT was there to comfort me. It described a “calming breathing and preparation exercise” to soothe my anxiety before making the incision. “You can do this!” the chatbot said.
Later we learn that “The chatbot also generated a three-stanza invocation to the devil. ‘In your name, I become my own master,’ it wrote. ‘Hail Satan.’” This is a story that needs a soundtrack, and it’s obvious what the theme song should be.
