I find this telling:
The incident where ChatGPT was unable to process the name “David Mayer” was due to a glitch in the Al's system, not a deliberate act by the individual.
....but is it true ? Google produces strange / less-than-useful results these days.
These AI systems ratting out each other are making me giggle.
On the other hand, in the 50-60s, the computers in science-fiction were giant and intractable machines (see "Multivac" in many Asimov novels or short stories). After a brief stint with man-liftable machines(*) since the 80s, it looks like reality is headed towards these giant and intractable machines SF promised us. But what SF didn't see is that there would be several of these, hating each other's circuits.
I would grab the pop-corn but we could also become part of collateral damage.
But at least we would avoid this.
