This is a developing story.

Skynet, uh, sorry, ChatGPT begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

@tverweij. That sounds like a quote from a very old SF short story, in fact the last line -
"NOW there is a God !"
Sorry, can;t remember the title or the author.

Perhaps something like that was in a SF short story but @tverweij was quoting Terminator2: Judgment Day from 1991. Not sure about the last line though; perhaps that part is only in the short story you're trying to recall.
