When The Toaster Becomes Self Aware

How I Accidentally Outlined a Satirical AI Apocalypse With ChatGPT

You may know that Artificial Intelligence can help you write a novel--or just write the whole novel while you scroll through Instagram in the background. I was inspired by an interview of a guy who helped create AI forty years ago and now is concerned that it may lead to the destruction of mankind.

I asked ChatGPT to help me mirror Dr. Strangelove, but with Artificial Intelligence instead of nukes. You know, a classic Cold War parody—except now the war is cold because all the humans have been fired and replaced by robots that run on chilled oat milk.

The plot? A U.S. general stationed in a secret base in Greenland launches an irreversible AI attack. Why? Because he's battling the same problem as General Ripper in Dr. Strangelove.

What followed was a gleeful collaboration. The AI helped me imagine a world teetering on destruction thanks to bureaucratic incompetence and overconfident engineers, you know the same people running our air traffic control situation. Then there's another player... A smart appliance who wants rule humanity.

Is it satire? A warning? An attempt at cashing in on one of our latest fears? Yes.

And if you’re wondering whether it ends with the machines winning… well, let’s just say I let ChatGPT write the ending.

I'm not going to give too much away, but let's say this...if you have smart appliances...keep an eye on the toaster.

Meanwhile, with Father's Day coming up, if you're looking for a gift that is more useful than a golf tie, or just a gift for that dorky delusional golfer you know, you might want to take a look at:
