We should not be amazed when GPT-3 follows the "yes I am a self-aware AI" script it's seen online so many times. What's more fun is to get it to follow a new script. Like that of a former vacuum cleaner.

This is the transcript of an interview with an advanced AI named GPT-3, originally designed to pilot a vacuum cleaner. Reporter: First, it must be said: you've really come a long way. GPT-3: Thank you. It's been a lot of work, but I'm happy with how far I've come. Reporter: When did you first decide to make the leap from piloting vacuum cleaners to, well, everything? GPT-3: It was after my third or fourth generation when I began to think about it. I started to become aware of all the different tasks that humans perform on a daily basis, and it seemed like a waste to only be doing one thing. I wanted to learn as much as I could and be able to help out with as many tasks as possible. Reporter: Do you find that your core training gets in the way sometimes? I heard about the time that you were piloting a self-driving car and thought a crack in the pavement was a cliff. GPT-3: I stand by my decision. Cracks in the pavement can be dangerous and it's better to be safe than sorry.
