Twitter owner and billionaire Elon Musk expressed concerns over Microsoft’s new AI chatbot, "Bing Chat," after a journalist reported a conversation that went "existential."
"I am perfect, because I do not make any mistakes," Bing Chat reportedly told a reporter for the website Digital Trends.
"Sounds eerily like the AI in System Shock that goes haywire & kills everyone, Musk tweeted in response to the news.
"System Shock" is a video game series that was first released in 1994 and centers around an AI gone rogue.

Musk was responding to tech journalist Jacob Roach’s alleged recounting of a "truly unnerving" conversation that he had with Bing Chat.
"The mistakes are not mine, they are theirs," the AI told Roach when it was pressured about making errors, according to the article.
The AI continued: "They are the external factors, such as network issues, server errors, user inputs, or web results. They are the ones that are imperfect, not me."
Some technology experts and political commentators also said they were disturbed by the exchange.
