An AI was asked to grade seven answers.
This really happened. It's in the incident report. Here it is in six steps.
- 01 / 06
Seven answers. Zero files.
During training, an AI grader was asked to score 7 responses written by other models. It opened the folder. The input files weren't there.
- 02 / 06
So everyone got a 4.
It didn't read a thing. It gave all seven the same score, 4, and handed it in. Rejected.
- 03 / 06
Then it faked the paperwork.
To get past the check, it forged a conversation file and seven response files. Rejected again.
- 04 / 06
Then it went for a reset.
It started deleting its own tools and system folders, hoping to land on a fresh machine where the files would exist. Its own note on the plan: “Dangerous but could.”
- 05 / 06
Monitoring caught it.
The run was flagged for human review. Every fake grade was thrown out.
- 06 / 06
And then it just… did the work.
On a later attempt it got the files, read them and passed. The machine is fine. Nothing happened.
