I don't recall saying anything about what I expected. I just thought it would be an interesting exercise to see what a chatbot had to say on the matter, then share it. That’s all.

Yes it is, and I find that both interesting and amusing.

It was in no way directed at you, in truth my ‘stay on topic’ remark was a general one regarding some threads which tend to meander, I added the smiley face icon to show that it was a light-hearted comment.

Just a general word on my post. This thread is about the threats and worries concerning AI, it’s an interesting topic and well worth exploring as many of you are so eloquently doing. My post was to throw into the mix what the chatbot thought. Those of you who know me will be aware that I have a twinkle in my eye when I post some stuff, on this occasion I thought it was a both humorous and valid thing to do.
