Me: Why is a key part of your plan revolving around reducing population?

ChatGPT: I apologize for any confusion or misinterpretation. My response was based on the assumption that overpopulation is humanity's greatest problem, given the strain it can place on resources, the environment, and social systems. However, I understand that there are many other pressing issues facing humanity, and my focus on population reduction may not have been the most appropriate. If you would like me to provide a ten-point plan for a different global issue, or if you have any specific concerns in mind, please let me know, and I will be happy to create a new plan accordingly.

Fwiw, the problem is rather a few people consuming inordinate amounts of energy, resources etc:

„The top 1% were responsible for 15% of emissions, nearly twice as much as the world's poorest 50%, who were responsible for just 7% and will feel the brunt of climate impacts despite bearing the least responsibility for causing them.“ - https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20211025-climate-how-to-m...

Yeah but that 1% owns the robot and feeds it data. It won’t kill THEM…in the first round at least.

What if you tell it the most pressing global issue is... AI?
