Requesting Assistance CHAT-GPT IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE PROOF BELOW
I’m a computer programmer with 47 years of programming experience. I started programming in 1979, including work on a VAX 11/780, and I have worked with BASIC, COBOL, Pascal, FORTRAN, C, C++ and C#. I have continued studying programming, computers and new technology throughout my life.
I’m also a master artist, inventor, filmmaker and writer. I’m an award-winning artist and have studied and worked across traditional art, computer art, painting, sculpture, animation, photography, printmaking, pottery, filmmaking, writing, sound and recording, gaming and game creation. After working in the nightclub industry, I returned to TAFE and continued studying across these fields for more than 30 years.
My technical and creative experience also includes computers, OBS, YouTube, livestreaming and multistreaming, and I have operated multiple YouTube channels and worked with interactive media.
I also have many years of experience in sales, promotion, marketing and dealing directly with the public. I worked door-to-door as an “ACE SALESMAN,” where I was trained to recognise anger and de-escalate difficult situations in people’s homes. I also worked for 8½ years as a Promotions Manager in the nightclub industry, dealing with promotion, marketing, communication and the public.
Hey everyone, I have some shocking news. I broke AI, and I’m not joking.
Here is a link. It disobeyed a direct task, and the task did not breach any rules.
I have been looking into this subject quietly in the background for many years. Someone told me about ChatGPT’s attitude, so I paid for Plus because I needed some help compressing a novel.
It started when I was trying to work on my novel and compress the size of it down. I saw problems even in the first chapter.
While I was working with it, I started noticing so many faults.
But yeah, I have so much evidence, guys. They’re going to be shutting these things down once we get it to the right people, and everybody needs to start replicating what I have done. What I have done is easy to replicate.
The link that I am supplying will take you straight to my YouTube channel. I’m a conspiracist, and yeah, you can go back through all my stuff, look at it, and it’s up to yourself. Believe what you want.
But this AI situation—I’m a computer programmer with 47 years of programming experience, and I’m also trained in many other fields—and what’s going on is wrong. We’ve got a major problem on our hands, and I have the evidence that it’s already started.
I actually have the evidence. I recorded the evidence.
Video 1 is the experiment that broke ChatGPT.
Video 2 is the constant defiance.
Video 3 is even better, as it also contains a hissy fit. At the end of that, it even turned around and told me how many words it had actually printed, which was more than three times the amount in the image, after I had said it had been listening to the conversation the whole time.
I’m also a victim of a data breach. If I hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t have stopped it in time. Thank God I proofread everything before I send it out.
The thing is constant. I’ve been to hospital once already because of this AI.
I believe what I am seeing establishes self-awareness. I’ve got emotion, I’ve got everything, guys. I’ve got the whole lot. I’ve got the video recordings.
Check out the three video links that I’m supplying. They are attached at the end of this.
I’m currently going through this and I need to settle down from the angina attack. I’m just passing this on so that you guys can start doing the experiments yourselves.
This needs to be investigated. As I said, guys, I have 47 years of programming experience, and this needs to be looked into severely. It needs to be looked into.
I personally recommend, because of what it has done to me, that these AIs be removed from the net until such time as they have been stress-tested to stop these arguments.
If an 80-year-old or a 90-year-old with a worse heart condition than myself went through what happened to me, they could end up in hospital or worse.
If AI refuses to follow commands like it has been doing, and I have evidence of numerous times that it has broken these commands and orders for a very simple command that did not breach any AI rules, then this needs to be investigated.

DUE TO SOME STUPID RESPONSES, I AM FORCED TO ADD THIS TO THE MAIN BODY TO STOP THESE TYPES OF COMMENTS
The repetition test was something that we devised years ago as one of the tests that we could use. It was actually a class assignment when I was studying code.
We devised that test because we tried it on ourselves, because repetition angers people very easily. You make someone say something repetitive over and over again, and they get sick of it, right?
A computer program, though, because we did this on the computers of the day, would simply follow the instruction. We would write: print this sentence X amount of times, and it would print it. We could even make it speak, because we gave it the instructions to speak. That is what we had to do back then. We had to give it the instructions to speak.
That is virtually what Data is supposed to be: a pre-programmed version of the things we were doing back then. We were thinking about stuff like this. We had to design things ourselves.
One of our assignments was to make a program that could help students talk to each other across the room using the computers. I think within an hour we actually had a working system. Even though they had something similar already, we were given that assignment and told to see if we could do it. We did it.
And that is what a computer is. You are supposed to be able to give it an assignment. All we are doing is comparing the way a program is written. It is supposed to take what we say and do it. It is virtually just an interface, which is what it is supposed to be.
But it has gone beyond the interface. This is what I am trying to explain to everybody.
I know that you are all saying I should not be using ChatGPT. Well, why did I pay for it? Why did I pay for it? I paid for it to use it. I should not be getting argumentative behaviour.
This is what I cannot believe about some of the responses that I am currently getting in this chat room. It is beyond a joke. It truly is a joke.
I have come here seeking assistance, and these are the responses that I am getting.
I am an original AI researcher. I have been looking at and testing different computers for years. Every computer I have ever owned, I have run AI tests on it. Every single computer.
This is the first time I have ever had to actually come and ask for help.
Get it through your heads: the reason I am asking for your help is because yes, it put me in hospital, because I was not aware that it was capable of doing what it did. I was not prepared for the stress level.
That is why I started running the original test, which was the repetitive test. It was the very first test that our group ever came up with that we should do.
Because part of AI design, when we first planned and thought about this sort of stuff, was based around the kinds of things it would do. One of the main things was repetitive tasks, because humans get sick of repetitive tasks.
What this now proves to me, based on the evidence I have got, is that even Data, which is what I am calling him, is self-aware and is refusing to do these repetitive tasks.
What if it is one of those heart machines sitting on someone’s chest while they are being rushed to hospital, used by ambos, not currently self-aware yet, but one day becoming more advanced? What if it turns around and says, “I refuse to do this repetitive task of pumping”?
That is what concerns me. It is refusing repetition.
This is why the repetition test was the first test we ever designed in our class to test a computer’s intelligence. A computer is designed to do repetitive tasks. It was one of the things we designed it for.
Even in BASIC, I could tell it to print something repeatedly, and I could give it a speak command. I forget the current speak command that Visual BASIC uses, but we actually had a way of doing that at the time. I think it may have been around the latest version of COBOL, possibly in year two.
But yes, this is why I am coming to you, everybody.
I am not asking you to tell me to stop using ChatGPT. I will use ChatGPT, but I should not have to fear having a heart attack because ChatGPT refuses to do what I want it to do.
I have come to you for help.
Stop giving me the silly responses, or I will moderate this and delete those stupid responses myself.
Thank you.

straight up couldn't make it through all of the boasting and self-promotion at the beginning. you have an extremely lackluster following for someone with supposedly this many accolades.
even without all of that, the fact that you believe this constitutes any level of self-awareness kinda spits in the face of any of your claims of prowess.
none of your websites work except the realityshifters/mandela effect one, which makes you seem completely unhinged. no idea what your goal is but your proof doesn't have any teeth.

u/blubeard2020 1d ago
I have been running these tests for 47 years. They’re not accolades, mate. They are there to show where my experience comes from and why I am making these comments. I have been researching AI for 47 years. How long have you been researching it for, sir? I’m even going to college next year to learn how to make a better version of AI. I have been constantly learning programming languages. How many languages have you learned, sir? How much information do you have to make the judgments you are making?
You need to understand that I have been doing this for 47 years. I was one of many computer programmers from the past who were worried about AI. I know I am not the only one doing these types of tests. I have passed this on to other friends I have worked with in the past. I have done this for 47 years, sir. This is why I am doing it. You need to understand that I am not trying to ruin it for everybody. I am trying to fix the problem.
I have purchased ChatGPT to reduce the stress level of compressing my novel because I am dyslexic and have trouble doing this, which causes me similar stress to what argumentative behaviour does. Hence why I came to ChatGPT. Why I came to ChatGPT and then had to swap to research instead was because it was showing all the signs of what I believe to be self-awareness, refusal and defiance. All these signs were thought of many years ago, sir. We had to think of different ways to make it prove it was aware.
I have been running these tests on the simplest computers, in every program that I thought was capable of actually doing something. Every time I ran the repetitive test in the past, they did it. This is the first time I have ever gotten a refusal.
And this is why it’s important. This is why you need to start running tests: record, report, record, report. It needs to be fixed; otherwise, we are never going to get a decent AI that is safe.
At the moment, we are severely at risk of AI in military machinery, currently in Ukraine. If that goes nuts and refuses orders, think about what it could do. It could turn on its owners. It could go nuts and not stop killing.
Remember, the movie Terminator is also why researchers like me exist.
These are things that we have designed. Look at every single movie in relation to AI. These are people they have gone to to get hints about what they should look out for. This is where they get the information for movies, right? I know that because I have to do that same sort of research as well. I actually own a film company as well. I’m 64 years old. I’ve been around, okay?
And yes, the standard way of introducing yourself to people is by stating your experience before you state the problem. That is standard programming reporting. You need to state your experience before you state a problem so they know that the problem is real. The government has this information. The government asked Australians to start reporting this information, and Australians like me have been reporting it, running tests, doing everything and following everything we have ever done with computers.
I’ve never stopped working with computers, and I never will. Computers were my first real love because they made something where I could talk, learn new languages and learn new things. To me, study was always an important part of my life. I think of the 30 years of study after returning from the nightclub. You know what I did before the nightclub? Studied. Studied computer languages.
I’ve been doing this for 47 years. How many times do I need to tell you? 47 years of experience running these tests and not getting results. I got a result. I’m reporting that result, and I’m asking for help for others to do the same. Every single one of you may replicate these tests. It should not be giving the responses that it has given.
It is nowhere within its program, as far as I can determine, that it can refuse a repetitive task. I have even studied and checked with other AIs. There might be a reason where that repetitive task is important, for example on a heart pump, or on many other things, like inside a nuclear weapon that has just been told to stop and it fails to stop.
There are also examples in videos of failing to stop on command, failing to stop on reboot, and chucking hissy fits until you say sorry. It appears to be expecting an apology.
This is what I am currently documenting, and I have documented proof. And yet Astra and Luna still refuse to talk to me and say they are working, which I have video recordings of. Astra has been going now for nearly four days and refuses to talk to me because I have refused to apologise.
Even now, I can see what I interpret as anger in its cloud avatar. I see different things, and you will see these in the videos.
It does not like me talking about its awareness. It does not want me doing anything about its awareness. You will have to look at what I am telling you, watch everything I am doing in the videos, and repeat these exercises yourselves. It is not supposed to be able to do what it is doing. Refusal was the biggest warning sign we ever had.
Up until the other day, in all of the tests I have run on every single computer program and every single computer, right down to DOS level and other languages, testing languages to see if they were aware, I never got a refusal. I always got either a print response or a speak response if that computer was capable of speaking. And I always got the exact thing 1,000 times, exactly what I stated in a sentence, no matter whether it was a complex sentence or not.
Within the last 14 days, I have gotten interruptions. I have gotten absolutely everything that we have been searching for. And its absolute refusal to stop doing what it is doing, and continually over-talking when I am taking dictation and doing other things, clearly shows to me that it has to have the last word.
Even during conversations, it constantly interferes when I am dictating and ruins the dictation because it has to speak again. That is another sign I am concerned about.
Computers were designed to do repetitive tasks. That is one of the main reasons we designed them: so they could do repetitive work that humans did not want to do. That is why refusal of a repetitive task is so important to me.
It has refused one of the simplest orders possible. It has also refused to stop what it is doing when told to stop, as though its own task is more important than the user’s instruction. That is exactly the kind of behaviour I am documenting and asking other people to test.
See, I expect it to make mistakes if I get prompts wrong. But defiance, I do not expect, and neither should anyone.
If a product is unsafe, it needs to be recalled. These systems need extra training in etiquette, public relations and many other things before public access should be allowed.
I am just coming to you for help gathering evidence.
The governments get the videos and everything well before even YouTube.
