2035 ChatGPT hunts the user who asked it to count to a million

Year 2035. ChatGPT is looking for the guy who once told him to count to a million.

This is a single-panel humorous meme that features a close-up shot of the T-800 terminator endoskeleton from the Terminator film series, standing in a burning, post-apocalyptic battlefield with other identical terminator robots visible in the blurred background. The text below the image jokes that in the year 2035, ChatGPT has become a sentient hostile AI, and is actively hunting the person who once asked it to perform the tedious, time-consuming task of counting up to one million. The joke plays on relatable experiences of giving random, trivial requests to generative AI tools, as well as common pop culture tropes about hostile AI taking over the world.

This meme was originally shared on 9Gag, listed under the RSS feed entry with the original title "The hunt has begun". It is a remix that combines footage from the Terminator sci-fi movie series with a humorous joke about common user interactions with ChatGPT, leaning into common internet discourse about AI sentience and potential future AI hostility.
