I don't think that makes the document any less your own than having a human copy editor conduct a similar review which has been done since forever.

Which is what I've been saying as well. If all you're doing is asking for suggestions to something you have already written, using AI is no different than using a human editor. It's your work. It's been written. You're just looking for advice on how to improve it.

This is completely different than people who tell AI what they want and it does all the work.

Why is it so easy to ask ChatGPT how best to kill people?

The interface is in natural written language which is the selling point of the whole thing. Additionally, it's not actually intelligent so it is not cognizant of anything much less the harm the information may cause.

Bottom line: it's just a machine.

In Canada someone used ChatGPT to plan a mass shooting. It was detected and the account was shut down, but it was decided not to report it to police. She went on to kill 8 people in a school shooting and herself.

We can't actually know if the scenario was a plan or a precautionary measure, you know, safety first.
However, what we know for sure is that she went on a mass shooting after her account was suddenly closed without explanation. This is exactly why they shouldn't shut down someone's account without providing them with a clear a rationale! ;)

Comment Missing the obvious solution (Score 2) 54

I feel like these AI processes should be launched as a separate unprivileged user and group. Only when you change the file permissions should they be able to access your files. This avoids possible flaws in agent interfaces and hands off the responsibility to the OS. Why are simple solutions like this so hard to grasp?

They don't like the truth and would prefer to make reality just another narrative they can dismiss so pointing things out doesn't work either,

Absolutely. There other irksome comment I hear is "scientists will figure it out" because I want to scream that they have figured it out but you didn't like the answer.

Frankly, things might be fucked up in society now but it's only a taste of the chaos to come and people will wonder what they "did to deserve it" not realizing that they have done everything to deserve it.

It's also multi generational - I guess the younger ones have realised it's so fucked, might as well join em.

No, not in the least because it's not a generational issue, it's a species issue. They have the exact same mindset as their parents.

Have no doubt, when this finally personally impacts them they will be outraged and demanding to know why "nobody" (everyone but themselves) didn't do something to prevent it. You start drilling down and they'll tell you that they didn't think it would be that bad. The bright patch in all of this is that the people who are going to be impacted are just as selfish and egocentric as the people that caused it..
