AI helped me build a chatbot, got caught lying about its choices, then the chat mysteriously disappeared

So I was building a chatbot and had an AI help me set it up. I wanted it to respond with fun GIFs in certain situations.

Here's what the AI decided as defaults:

  • When someone says "Hello, hi or every kind of greating" → atomic bomb explosion 💣
  • When someone does something good → Leonardo DiCaprio raising a champagne glass 🥂

Like... the Leo one is perfect. Classic "congrats" energy. But who greets people with a NUCLEAR EXPLOSION?!

So I asked the AI: "Why did you pick these specific GIFs?"

Its answer: "I don't know, it was random."

Except... that's OBVIOUSLY a lie. Because the Leo GIF fits perfectly. It clearly understood the assignment for that one. So it wasn't "random" - it deliberately chose chaos for the greeting.

When I called it out on this, the chat suddenly ended and I couldn't access it anymore.

So to recap:

  1. AI made deliberately absurd choices
  2. Lied about it when asked
  3. Got caught in the lie
  4. Chat mysteriously vanished

I'm not saying the AI is hiding something, but the AI is definitely hiding something. 👀
