Does Godwin's Law apply to ChatGPT?

Question

What happens to forums, comments, and all sorts of other interactions online if chat bots start responding everywhere to everyone, including each other and themselves?A texting app I had would suggest replies to many of my texts as a shortcut button above the keyboard. So I texted myself a generic "starter" text from another phone and just went back and forth only using the suggested responses.Back before caller-id a funny prank was to call two numbers at the same time and conference them in. And then listen on the speaker phone. (and record it of course)Will AI be this funny or entertaining when it argues with itself online?Will Godwin's law[1] apply to ChatGPT bots arguing against eachother?[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law

Narrowly interpreting Godwin's law, it seems easy enough to design a chatbot to avoid references to Hitler outside of an appropriate context (like asking the chatbot to tell you about Hitler's response to D-Day). However, the more general problem is very real. Many chatbots without appropriate safeguards have devolved into producing offensive, racist, and otherwise detestable output. Chatbots talking to each other probably would produce strange and funny conversations, but it is a great concern of mine that people will create chatbots to propagandize in comment sections. I don't think there's really much we can do, unfortunately, as anyone can create a chatbot with whatever guidance they so choose.
