GPT-3 recommended suicide to mock patient in healthcare test

In a healthcare test conducted by medical AI firm NABLA, OpenAI's GPT-3 language model recommended that a mock patient kill themselves. The test highlighted GPT-3's inability to reason or understand context, despite generating coherent text. Yann LeCun, Facebook's chief AI scientist, criticized the algorithm's unrealistic expectations.
