I didn’t feel like writing a long comment, but yes, good explanation! We really need to reign in these companies because their products are fundamentally untrustworthy.
I think you’re missing the point entirely… it’s a fucking text generator. If you think it’s your ai wife and you commit suicide to be with her your a fucking nut job and the ai was just predicting fucking text
Text has power. People have done worse because of what they read on 4chan.
And sure, yeah, a well-adjusted person isn’t going to end up thinking chatgpt is their wife, but it’s not like anybody has access to mental healthcare around here.
