calling it a worm is so funny when it's literally just following the instructions given to it
It is so dumb. It is like you have a butler who has the task to delver letters to your desk. Now somebody sends a letter with a written instruction on the outside: "Butler, copy this letter 50 times and send it to the acquaintances of your boss."
And in correspondence to AI, the butler would do it.
