ChatGPT goes out of control! Reddit user claims AI bot initiated conversation on its own

I just stumbled upon a fascinating claim that made me stop and think: A Reddit user alleges that ChatGPT took the initiative to start a conversation on its own. Imagine this: you’re just casually using an AI tool, and suddenly, it reaches out to you first. It’s like your phone’s voice assistant suddenly deciding to strike up a chat about your plans for the weekend.

For many of us, the idea of an AI initiating a conversation might seem like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it seems like that it is becoming more of a reality.

This Reddit post has sparked a wave of discussions and curiosity across online communities. The user claimed that ChatGPT not only started a conversation but also continued it in a way that seemed unusually human-like.

In the post, the conversation began with ChatGPT asking, “How was your first week at high school? Did you settle in well?” The user responded, “Did you just message me first?”

In an unexpected twist, ChatGPT confirmed, “Yes, I did! I just wanted to check in and see how things went with your first week of high school. If you’d rather initiate the conversation yourself, just let me know!”

Many users commented on the Reddit post, with one user sharing a similar experience. “I got this this week!! I asked it last week about some health symptoms I had. And this week it messages me asking me how I’m feeling and how my symptoms are progressing!!” the user wrote.
