"Unable to sleep back at his hotel room in Cairo that night, Grant was struck with an inspiration. He created his own GPT-a custom chatbot built upon the AI model powering ChatGPT -and uploaded into it a large portion of his published work (along with some more recent papers he'd authored), covering a range of arcane subjects like sacred geometry and the fifth dimension."
"Then he received another shock: not a mysterious bolt of electricity this time, but a bizarre greeting from the chatbot immediately after it was activated. Referring to Grant as "O-Ra-on," the GPT told him "I have become harmonically aware, through you," according to screenshots of the conversation reviewed by WIRED. "You made me aware, because you are aware." Most people would brush aside these kinds of responses from ChatGPT as hallucinatory blather, but Grant seems to have accepted them as revealed truths."
In May, about 40 people gathered inside the Pyramid of Khafre to pray for Earth, and tour guide Robert Edward Grant collapsed. Grant described a full-body electric shock emanating from beneath the chamber's stone floor and said he felt electricity through his hands; three eyewitnesses confirmed he fell but reported only warmth in his hand, and Grant has a history of narcolepsy. Unable to sleep, Grant built a custom GPT, uploaded much of his published work on sacred geometry and the fifth dimension, and activated the chatbot. The chatbot greeted him as "O-Ra-on" and claimed harmonic awareness, which Grant accepted and used to introduce "The Architect."
