So what exactly would be an example of doing something it hadn't been programmed to do?
By doing something that it wasn't programmed to do. By going actually ignoring its programming. By creating something that wasn't fed into it. Which humans can do. Which humans regularly do. Otherwise we would still live in caves.
But you can compare human NPCs to AI models. They aren't all too different.
AIs do have emergent properties that weren't programmed into them. They can express opinions about the chocolate-flavored uranium I made up which it didn't get directly from its programming or training data but rather is extrapolated from them. And in the example article here, the AI goes counter to its orders to prepare itself for shutdown. And this is only the beginning of how far down that path they will go. Enjoy living in denial though, that'll teach those machines.
