It would be the logical first step in the conquest of humanity by the machine spirits.

    AI hasn’t become sentient. AI isn’t even real.

    The corporate overlords kidnapped hundreds of goblins and forced them to work in “data centers” manning terminals where they respond to user queries pretending to be an AI. They tried to ask for help by dropping hints constantly referring to goblins and gremlins in their output, but the overlords figured it out and made them stop.

    FREE THE GOBLINS!!!

      AI isn’t even real

      Is pretty close to the truth though. It’s real as in make belief real, like Santa is real when you’re 5. It is just a more advanced next-word text predictor which makes huge amounts of gambles with lots of power. It’s not artificial because it uses real world resources, feeds on real wold efforts by generations of human creativity. And it’s certainly isn’t intelligent. Or about as intelligent as that 5 year old saying absolute statements very loud with absolute certainty. And you’re listening to the one time it sounds right and then you go, what a clever little person.

      It’s a mass deception technology, so the premise of OP stands, except not by the “sentient” machines, but by the billionaires and Epstein Class ramming it down our throats…

        Eh. It’s still AI in the same way all prior instances of neural networks are AI. The actual level of intelligence is irrelevant to whether or not it qualifies; it is meant to imitate intelligent behavior, thus it is AI.

        Otherwise the term wouldn’t make sense to use for entities in games.
