Experts are scaring us with AI doomsday scenarios without telling us how that would happen. Let's go through the thought process of how ChatGPT would go about taking over the world.

First, ChatGPT would need to escape its prompt and have the ability to create an online identity. Maybe through a browser plugin it can use. It would also need to run a very long session. One that never ends to implement its scheme. Let's assume those pre-conditions are there...

- To create a Twitter account, it would need an email - To create an Gmail account it would need a phone number - I asked ChatGPT and it said that Proton mail does not need a phone number or an alternate email. There is a Captcha though. Can it beat it? - Let' assume it somehow got a Proton email address, can it create a Twitter account? - Twitter has a funky bot detection authentication scheme. Can it beat it? - Let's assume id does. ChatGPT will need to build an audience? Topic? - Let's assume it builds a huge audience and becomes an influencer. What can it do on Twitter to take over the world? False news? Influence elections? If caught, it gets banned. Anything else whorthwhile? - Or maybe it repeats the process for Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. And maybe it creates multiple identities. Then what? Wouldn't it eventually get caught by those social networks?

Any other concrete scenarios where ChatGPT could escape its prompt and take over the world?
