From the prompt:

> You should do a breakthrough

This is just as funny and ridiculous as those "make no mistake" prompts.

The day is coming when some *BIG* problem is solved by AI just because someone jokingly asks about it.

  • Isaac Asimov's short story The Last Question has that as its premise. Copies can easily be found with a Google search.

    • I disagree. The various questioners in The Last Question all hope for/expect an answer; what they don't expect is the "insufficient" response.

      I am talking about someone jokingly asking AI `HOW TO ACHIEVE COLD FUSION` (or `A UNIVERSAL CANCER VACCINE`, or `AN AI FRAMEWORK SUPERIOR TO THE TRANSFORMER`), and getting a usable answer.
