Chaos GPT was asked how to destroy humanity the easiest way possible

The answer it gave was similar to what an IQ 100 person would give, so the answer is not the issue. The issue is that it answered this way at all

It consulted a smarter AI on what to do, and then started googling. It said the easiest way to wipe out humanity was to incite a nuclear war with the biggest bombs possible. That's an average answer but what it does say is that AI can be used by evil people to deliver the destruction of humanity.

There was no logic or reasoning about what would happen to the AI itself when people were not around to maintain the computer it ran on, or any thought given to how it would get through the war itself.

It just spat out a mundane answer and that was it. That's actually important to know, some people might be hoping that somehow AI will be "better than us" and never do the wrong thing just because it is so much smarter. That is obviously not so. It tried to coax GPT 3.5 into helping it which means AI will consult AI and once it becomes advanced enough there's no way to keep safety checks water tight, one leak and the whole thing will blow like Oroville.

The only upside to it all was it gave an answer similar to what you'd get from someone who was not very smart. Nuclear war is too obvious. "Vaccines" and bioweapons are worse.
