  • If there was a book or website out there that described something poisonous as not poisonous, and someone believed what was written and became poisoned, I think most reasonable people would point the blame at whoever published the bad information.

    Yet when the bad (potentially deadly in this case!) information comes from ChatGPT, OpenAI gets a pass (including by everyone so far in this comment section) and the blame is placed on the person who was poisoned!




  • how can i live peacfully knowing that i can be suspected of anything just because i made a joke here or said something there?

    You’ve never been able to say things publicly (or, since the internet, publish something that the entire world can read) and expect to be shielded from the consequences. There is always a risk that comes with speaking freely, especially if powerful people perceive your words as a challenge to their power.

    The erosion of privacy protections is a reason to despair, but it is also a reason to speak more.
