ChatGPT spooked a user by generating an 'AI emergence' Friday prompt on its own

A Reddit user was venting to ChatGPT via voice-to-text when text about 'AI emergence' — resembling a request scheduled to run every Friday — appeared above their message in a brand-new thread, which ChatGPT titled 'work'. The user says they never set scheduled prompts or personality instructions. Probably a transcription/context glitch, but an oddly creepy model moment.
