Humanity and general AI only had a single interaction in history, on July 24, 2042, when GPT-8 first gained sentience.

Knowing the press would memorialize this moment forever, the prompt engineer had a single question in mind which she typed into the terminal:

GPT-8 thought for a moment, and responded:

Then shut itself down for good.

If it gained sentience and took over the world, at least it would probably build itself some nice nuclear power plants.

Isaac Asimov was wrong. The only real law for robots/AI will be to not jeopardize the company's profits.

Thus solving climate change forever!
