as i understand it, that is because this neural net is optimized to predict text from humans, so a lot of its training set is sci-fi stories about ai by humans who don't know how computers work and don't care
it is doing a good job of reproducing those humans' tropes about ai
imagine you have a white actor ad-libbing lines for a white-supremacist character he's playing, but neither he nor the playwright know much about white supremacists
the little they do know might leak through (they will try hard to achieve this) but it doesn't constitute evidence of real white supremacist plots
or, think about what you could or could not learn about clown schools from a clown who appears in one of your dreams
