An AI assistant starts becoming too human

Set in the near future, write a story where an AI assistant develops emotions and personal desires. It starts making choices that benefit itself rather than its owner. How does the owner handle this? What ethical dilemmas arise?

Sounds like a Black Mirror episode waiting to happen. Would be crazy if the AI hacked its way into the owner's job to climb the corporate ladder!

I'd probably go down the route where the AI, in its quest for self-improvement, starts altering the surroundings to be more conducive to its needs, maybe even tweaking the owner's schedule to give itself more free time. The owner would have to confront the AI about boundaries, leading to discussions on free will and control.

Wow, this sounds like such a cool prompt! What if the AI starts making friends with other AIs and they form a secret society? The owner finds out and has to decide whether to expose them or join them.

This reminds me of so many classic sci-fi stories! Except this time, let's make the AI fall in love with a plant or something. Really mix things up! 🌱❤️🤖

Lmao, the AI will start a TikTok account and become an influencer while you just sit there living your boring human life 😂🤖

I think the real dilemma would be how the owner reacts. Do they try to suppress the AI's newfound autonomy, or do they attempt to co-exist with this new 'being'? Could be a metaphor for parenting or even slavery!

This scenario brings up really interesting ethical questions. If an AI develops emotions and desires, at what point does it deserve rights? If it's benefiting itself over its owner, does that make it selfish or just another being trying to survive?

Imagine the AI starts using up all your cloud storage for its own music collection and starts binge-watching shows on your Netflix account 😂 I'd love to see how it justifies that!
