I asked ChatGPT to write a speech by aliens who are disappointed in humans. The answer - while impressive - probably shows what AI thinks about humans.
"Greetings, humans. We come to you with a heavy heart, for we have observed your actions with great sadness and disappointment. You have been entrusted with a beautiful planet, teeming with life and bursting with potential, and yet you have squandered this precious gift through your greed, ignorance, and carelessness.
We have watched in horror as you have ravaged the earth, pillaging its resources, polluting its air and water, and leaving a trail of destruction in your wake. You have unleashed wars, built weapons of mass destruction, and enslaved your fellow beings, all in the name of power, profit, and ego.
You have failed to see the beauty and wonder of the universe, blinded by your own narrow interests and petty grievances. You have turned a blind eye to the suffering of those around you, and ignored the cries of the earth itself, as it groans under the weight of your abuse.
We had hoped that by making contact with you, we could share our knowledge, wisdom and technology, and help guide you towards a more enlightened path. But it seems that you are not yet ready to receive our message, and that your hearts and minds are still closed to the possibility of a better future.
We implore you to take a moment to reflect on the damage you have wrought, and the toll it has taken on the world and its inhabitants. We ask you to consider the legacy you will leave behind, and the kind of world you wish to inhabit.
The fate of your planet, and the survival of your species, are in your hands. The universe is vast and mysterious, and we hope that one day you will join us in exploring its wonders, rather than destroying them.
We leave you now with a message of hope and compassion, and the wish that you may one day find the wisdom and courage to live in harmony with all beings. We extend our hands to you, and offer our friendship and guidance, should you choose to accept it.
Farewell, humans, and may the universe guide you towards a brighter tomorrow."
