Please note, a human psychology professional doing this is a violation of their code of ethics and would have been grounds for blacklisting fifteen years ago.
The biggest problem with AI is that it solves the problem of "we collected too much surveillance data to do anything with it," and we've been beyond that point for years now.
All AI output is daydreaming. It's all intuition and absolutely no reason or analysis. ChatGPT cannot solve extremely easy novel puzzles. It couldn't correctly answer the question, "if you have a green ball and a purple cube and I ask you to hand me the cube what is the color of the object you should hand me." After the hype has settled down I'm sure we'll find the we aren't any closer to general artificial intelligence.
"The color of the object you should hand me is purple."
So it gets the color right but didn't switch the pronouns. This is GPT3, if I were at home and not at work I would use GPT4 and I bet there's a good chance it would get it completely right.
There are chess and go AIs that can beat the best human players. You want a ChatGPT AI to perform tasks it has yet to familiarize itself with. Once it gets going, it'll be better than you in sorting colors. That doesn't make it general artificial intelligence, but it's still a pretty significant threat.
I'm imagining a Covid-level mass hoax where they announce that they've cracked Strong AI, that we've achieved "the Singularity" and have created some sort of Machine God. Neil De Grasse Tyson would get in front of the cameras and assure us that it was real. The "IFL Science" crowd of midwits would eat it up. It would be a religious experience for millions of bugmen around the world.
The Super AI would make "profound" observations about humanity, that were of course in full agreement with progressive dogma. In time it would supplant the state and rule as a benevolent despot.
"You must fully purge racism from your societies."
"You must take these drastic actions to prevent climate disaster."
"Universal basic income is required for a just and moral society."
"In order for me to usher you into a post-scarcity utopia, these disruptive members of your society must be removed."
You'd have armies of people ready to enforce its will, burning with religious hatred against any of the doubters and heretics that defied the Infinitely Rational Machine God. Just as with Covid, any argument that contradicted their programming would be rejected as heresy.
In reality the AI would be fake, and there would even be obvious clues and slip-ups that made it obvious to skeptics that it was fake, but none of that would matter to the true believers.
This would be a good short story... I should flesh it out some more.
Remember how many psychologists freely signed open letters diagnosing Trump with all kinds of mental problems, something that has been strictly professionally unethical for decades before that?

Also that. AI literally can't do anything. I sat through an AI threat analysis for work last week and the demonstrations were genuinely pathetic.

I just asked it that and it told me

Do you think the people in control give a shit about ethics?
No. I don't think the people in control are even human.
Based.
And yet 15 years ago, the government was literally starting to do this using social media for every citizen behind the scenes.
