A man resurrected his childhood imaginary friend using AI. It went badly

A YouTuber, Lucas Builds The Future, used AI to bring his childhood imaginary friend -- a microwave -- to life using artificial intelligence (AI). Then, instead of a heartfelt reunion, things took a thing for worse when the kitchen appliance tried to kill its creator. In a Twitter thread, Lucas Rizzotto said that his family's kitchen microwave, which he named Magnetron, was his imaginary friend. Magnetron, unlike other microwaves, had a lengthy backstory in which he fought in World War I. And when OpenAI released a new natural language model, Rizzotto naturally wondered whether he could resurrect his old friend.
