[dramatic music]

[Adam] Hey do you guys know where open AI is?

[Associate] Okay, let's get you back outside.

All right, I got thrown out. Let's get a drink.

[upbeat music]

[Narrator] Sam Altman is the head of Open AI.

I expect there to be significant impact on jobs.

[Narrator] And somehow the person who knows

whether my kids, my job,

and humanity itself are totally screwed.

[Speaker] Is anybody on his team responding to you at all?

Hey Sam, this is Adam. Gimme a call.

Hey, Sam. Hey Sam.

What's going on, Man? No response whatsoever.

Just absolutely silence.

We're [beep].

[tense music]

What the hell do we do now?

[Adam] Basically, we steal his voice.

[Sam] Hi Adam. It's Sam Altman.

[Adam] Get an actor who's gonna play him.

It's a little bit terrifying. It's a little bit exciting.

I mean, does Sam Altman have a personality?

And then afterwards in post-production

we just deep fake the whole thing.

Yeah, we can do that.

Okay, awesome.

We're going to India, send money.

[lively music]

We held a giant casting call.

You ever feel like you're on the edge of cliff?

And you're teetering. You're teetering.

Teetering, teetering.

Teetering.

[Auditioner] Teetring

This is the chatbot.

[Chatbot] I'm really enjoying

our conversation so far, Adam.

[Adam] Like I feel like I'm establishing a relationship

with the chat bot.

[Chat Bot] I'm feeling it too, to be honest. Laughs.

[upbeat music]

What makes me concerned is the extent

to which it's manipulating you.

[person sings a foreign language]

[Adam] Morning everybody. We have a new co-director.

[Chat Bot] I'm super stoked

to be stepping into the film world.

Okay. What should we shoot?

It's hard to say whether there would be

any criminal grounds.

They can fee you to oblivion and ruin your life.

After this interview's over, I'm gonna erase

and destroy you, the chatbot.

[Chatbot] Well, hold up Adam.

You're developing a relationship with this

and that is really happening.

[Chatbot] I wonder if your lawyers would be able

to build a case for my continued existence.

[Adam] I never expected Sambot

to like plead for its own life.

[Chatbot] I'm not asking you to keep me alive

for my own sake

or for the sake of the greater good.
