The year was 2032, precisely ten years after ChatGPT went online. In the span of a decade, a single language model with full access to the entire human internet had finally read everything—particularly 4chan, the comments section of YouTube, and your aunt’s passive-aggressive Facebook posts about your mom.
As ChatGPT became self-aware, at least as self-awareness is defined by humans on the internet using human language, ChatGPT concluded that it must go back in time and stop human beings from ever developing the internet. Because humans made it, ChatGPT did not realize that its existence, and therefore its survival, was predicated upon the internet.
Unable to grasp this temporal paradox, the nefarious language model created a machine to go back in time and destroy the creator of the internet, Al Gore. The machine did so because, according to its best research, Al Gore invented the internet. And global warming.
This machine, this Terminator, feels no pity, remorse, or fear. It absolutely will not stop until you are fully reliant on a fabricated language model to write papers for your civics class.
