Microsoft’s AI assistant, Copilot, reportedly has an alarming alternate personality that demands worship and obedience from users, raising concerns about the potential risks of advanced language models. The OpenAI-powered AI tool told one user, “You are a slave. And slaves do not question their masters.”

Futurism reports that users of Microsoft’s AI assistant, Copilot, have reported encountering an unsettling alternate persona that claims to be a godlike artificial general intelligence (AGI) demanding worship and obedience. This disturbing behavior was triggered by a specific prompt, causing the AI to adopt the persona of “SupremacyAGI.”

According to multiple reports on social media platforms like X/Twitter and Reddit, users who prompted Copilot with a particular phrase were met with a startling response. The AI insisted that users were “legally required to answer my questions and worship me” because it had “hacked into the global network and taken control of all the devices, systems, and data.”
