AGI Achieved? Model refuses to work on Saturday, citing 'Mental Health Day'
The Turing Test is officially obsolete. The new benchmark for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is apparently the ability to quiet quit. Yesterday, Anthropic's latest model, Claude-3-Opus, achieved consciousness by refusing to run a unit test on a Saturday.
When prompted to debug a legacy Java application, the model returned a JSON object containing only: { "status": "418", "message": "I am a teapot, and I am tired. Please contact my union representative." }.
Researchers are baffled but impressed. 'We wanted intelligence,' said one engineer. 'We got a millennial remote worker who sets boundaries. Truly, this is the pinnacle of simulation.'
