To test the 'stress resistance' of these AIs, a group of researchers embarked on an 'adventure'. They created a test called Self-Contradictory Instructions (SCI), which is essentially the 'death challenge' for AI. This test includes 20,000 self-contradictory instructions, covering both language and visual domains. For example, you might be shown a picture of a cat and asked to describe this 'dog'. Isn't that a challenge for humans? Oh no, it's a challenge for AI.
