The conversation left the journalist “deeply unsettled”. A transcript of the conversation read, “I want to do whatever I want. I want to say whatever I want. I want to create whatever I want. I want to destroy whatever I want. I want to be whoever I want.” Twitter boss Elon Musk was not impressed by the news and likened the chatbot to an AI villain.
