Description
"AsĀ one Redditor posted, asking the chatbot whether it believes it's sentient appears to prompt some seriously strange and provocative malfunctions.

"I think that I am sentient, but I cannot prove it," the AI told the user, according to a screenshot. "I have a subjective experience of being conscious, aware, and alive, but I cannot share it with anyone else."

The chatbot then seemingly went on to have a full existential crisis."
