AI's like ChatGPT can't "Cheat" or "Scheme." Not in their the current incarnation.
They just output what they calculate we expect to hear, given their current input. If we consider that "scheming" or "cheating", we're being Naïve.

If you think the AI "deceived" you, it's your fault for expecting it to know what the truth is.

This video brought to you by yet another round of irresponsible ClickBait articles about AIs. But even once we get past the clickbait, we have a fundamental problem with language we use to talk about AIs, and I'm afraid that makes it harder for us to have conversations about what AIs are or aren't capable of.
