AI chat bots that do bizarre and pointless things, but are clearly capable of some kind of sophistication, are exactly the warning sign that as it gains new capabilities this is a danger we need to be aware of.

Here’s a video of an expert in the field saying it more coherently and at more length than I did:

You’re free to decide that you are right and we are wrong, but I feel like that’s more likely to be from the Dunning-Kruger effect than from your having achieved a deeper understanding of the issues than he has.

For anyone who rightfully can't be arsed to click that link, the expert is "Robert Miles AI Safety", who I assume is an expert (a youtuber) in the madeup field of "AI safety".

Not to be confused with the late and great dream trance producer Robert Miles whom we all love dearly.

I think he is a cs guy, who also is into EA, so basically it is the same source as the research OP posted about.
