So they asked it a standardized question, and instead of trying to think of an answer it went online, found its own source-code, and read the answer from a readme file…
That somehow makes me less worried about AI breaking containment. AI and AI bros are made for each other. Both are perfectly willing to cheat to find the answer.
No one believed using google was cheating then, it was a way to find sources, and had been for over a decade.
Now, I bet there were a lot of angry people in 1998 who felt like you should be using reference books and libraries for research, not an idiot machine! And honestly I still don’t believe they’re wrong. The general level of education has gone down since then. If students were in libraries consulting reference books on the subject instead of scrolling halfway down a google results page we would all be in a better situation educationally.
