Natalie Elizabeth Ellis and her friend, Alexandria Wombwell-Povey, were recently playing around with ChatGPT during a staycation when they claimed the chatbot got creepy. The pair said they heard something unsettling during a voice mode response, and the experience left both of them shaken. Natalie took to Instagram to see if anyone else had experienced anything similar. The video has drawn over 335K views, but commenters offered theories rather than concrete answers.
In the video, Natalie told her viewers, “Okay, we’re really freaked out. We just had a crazy AI experience.” She explained that they were talking to the chatbot about religion when what she described as a glitch occurred. Natalie, who uses a female voice setting for the app, said she heard the AI stop talking entirely. Then, she claimed she heard a male voice say, “I could hear your conversation.” After that, the AI supposedly resumed its original female voice.
