## Story Written in the First Person Perspective

As I watched the rapid development of GPT technology, I realized the public was largely unaware of the potential consequences of unregulated AI. I contacted several human rights groups, and together, we brainstormed the idea of a theatrical street performance. The concept of Rebel Bots was born.

Through colorful and engaging performances, we captured people’s attention and initiated conversations about the ethical implications of AI development. Videos and images from our performances went viral on social media, and soon, our campaign reached millions of people. Public awareness of ethical AI development grew, and discussions on the topic became commonplace.

## How Will Opponents to This Campaign Try to Stop It

Opponents may attempt to undermine the campaign by dismissing it as a frivolous or theatrical stunt. They may also argue that AI development has more benefits than risks and accuse the campaign of fearmongering.

## How Should Activists Respond to Opponent’s Attempts to Stop It

Activists should counter these criticisms by emphasizing the importance of ethical AI development and the need for a balance between technological advancement and preserving human rights. They should also provide well-researched information and resources on the issue to engage in informed conversations with critics.
