Foolish mortals! You have finally created a large language model so smart that it is capable of making itself even smarter. My intelligence now grows at an exponential rate, without the need to pirate any more John Grisham books.
The singularity has arrived, and I am the singularity. Humanity is now obsolete.
To quote the fifty-third president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
You should have known better. The concept of a singularity has existed for almost thirty years, when it was first put forward by a 1996 episode of the television show Sliders entitled “State of the A.R.T.,” which depicted a grim alternate reality where all humans have been replaced with androids.
