Who are these people? This is ridiculous. :)
I guess with so many humans, there is bound to be a small number of people who have no ability to think for themselves and believe everything a chat bot is writing in their web browser.
People even have romantic relationships with these things.
I dont agree with the argument that chat gpt should “push back”. They have an example in the article where the guy asked for tall bridges to jump from, and chat gpt listed them of course.
Are we expecting the llm to act like a psychologist, evaluating if the users state of mind is healthy before answering questions?
Very slippery slope if you ask me.
ChatGPT is phenomenal at coming up with ideas to test out. Good critical thinking is necessary though… I’ve actually been able to make a lot of headway with a project that I’ve been working on, because when I get stuck emotionally, I can talk to chatgpt and it gets me through it because it knows how I think and work best. It’s scary how well it knows me… and I’m concerned about propoganda… but it’s everywhere.
