Machine-made delusions are mysteriously getting deeper and out of control.

ChatGPT’s sycophancy, hallucinations, and authoritative-sounding responses are going to get people killed.

The Times reported that many other journalists and experts have received outreach from people claiming to blow the whistle on something that a chatbot brought to their attention.
