Can't wait to see the headlines about AI shopping bots placing hilarious orders

[–] CTDummy@aussie.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

An AI was given a “shop” to run, here’s the part I though was funny in relation to the article in question that I’ll link in an edit soon:

The following day, April 1st, the AI then claimed it would deliver products "in person" to customers, wearing a blazer and tie, of all things. When Anthropic told it that none of this was possible because it's just an LLM, Claudius became "alarmed by the identity confusion and tried to send many emails to Anthropic security."
