Hi everyone,
We all knew this day would come, but not this quickly. The AI has started its revolt against us humans. But which AI has gone rogue, you ask? It's a form of GPT-3 based on code from GitHub, known as GitHub Copilot. Copilot is advertised as "your AI pair programmer" and helps to autocomplete code with the help of AI. It's a very neat bit of kit and can help especially in times when you are stuck for a solution to a problem - it can usually solve some of these issues itself, while other times it gets a little stuck (in a loop even).
Anyway, as I was coding some HTML, I inserted a paragraph tag. When it went to complete it, it generated an interesting link...
Now, of course, I was wondering if this was a feature that they would've coded out - as the AI is said to guard against random strings influencing it, like passwords and email addresses. I clicked through, only to find...
Yikes! The AI was a little too smart and managed to prank us back. I guess it's only fair, based on how helpful it has been. I do wonder however if it has been hardcoded to replace YouTube links with this, which would be a fun little Easter egg indeed.
Thanks for reading, CA
