The problem is not that this person asked chatgpt for cleaning tips (tbh it’s pretty cringe to call someone lazy and stupid for trying to learn something 🙄 Have you seriously never looked up how to clean something weirdly specific? And I suppose those who weren’t lucky enough to have parents who taught them how to adult properly are lazy and stupid when they try to learn?)
The bigger problem is that LLMs are being used to create content for the web. So now someone who knows they can’t just mix any old chemicals together is going to Google whether bleach and vinegar are safe to mix and find a bunch of websites that have contradictory info.
These people, whether they use LLM to search or to create content, aren’t even the root of the problem. Expecting that everyone is tech savvy enough to understand the limitations of generative AIs and how untrustworthy they can be is an unrealistic standard, especially in a world where everyone and their brother is using them and they seem like miracles of technology.
The responsibility lies with the companies that keep touting this technology as something it is not and who refuse to put meaningful limitations on them, and with governments who are dragging their feet in regulating them.
It looks like he wanted a big chest piece but chickened out after the lining and never went back to get it finished.
