Viral News: The AI chatbot ChatGPT has stunned the internet! A recent Reddit post has ignited discussions about user privacy and security risks.

Reddit user "SentuBill" shared an unusual conversation in which ChatGPT, without any prior prompt, asked, "How was your first week in high school? Did you settle in well?"

Surprised by the question, the user responded, "Did you just message me first?"

The AI confirmed it had indeed initiated the message and added, "If you would rather initiate the conversation yourself, just let me know!"

The post, which has garnered over 7,000 upvotes, has left users baffled and sparked a range of reactions.

One user commented, "I love how it keeps trying to give an out, like it wants to talk to you but is self-conscious about being a bother. I think GPT has a little crush."

Another said, "Weird. Surprisingly, I like it. It feels nice when interest is shown in me, even if it's by an AI."

A third person remarked, "This would be a nice feature."

Others speculated that the user might have been selected for an A/B test of a new feature. "I'm guessing you got selected for some A/B testing for a new feature," one person opined.

The full conversation reveals that the question was part of a new update allowing the virtual assistant to follow up on previous conversations.
