What you’re describing sounds like - and was - an experiment.

There’s not a lot of details about the experiment, including the text prompts used to command the chatbot program or if it had help from any human researchers

This sentence pretty much blows the lid off any pretense of the legitimacy of the “experiment.”

I agree. The machine was prompted, and didn’t do this on its own ‘volition’ (if a machine can be said to have such).

But that just shows that current AI can be prompted to do whatever an operator wants to try.
