  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Translation: "I was talking to AI about how I've been hallucinating and having vivid dreams of people coming after me. I'm secretly a schizo or someone with mental disorders. And I talked to it until it validated me. So now I'm prepared to be a potential murderer. Thanks AI!"

The fact that this is not the conclusion that BBC took and instead just pushed the shitty "AI BAD! FIRE BAD!" narrative is telling.

Please, BBC!
AI can summarize emails!
Don't take this away from me!
I can't summarize as fast as it can!

Well, there are two ways to make artificial intelligent as smart as humans: one is to work on AI until it is smarter, the other is to make the human dumber. This person seems to have chosen the latter method.
