It sounds like they’re focusing on the shame associated, which leads to the irony of they’ll find the awkward and uncomfortable ones but not the ardent. That sounds unwise

it's long been the case that to get away with a crime, you make it your business.

The worst part is, ChatGPT cannot generate anything new. It's pre-trained, which is the P in the name.

It can only recombine the training data into forms that sort of match the training data. So, if the training data is garbage, the output will be more garbage.

And this garbage in garbage out is going to be used to harm real people.

In addition, ChatGPT lies. It hallucinates shit that is provably false, because that's what it's generated text needs to look like to match the training data.

So it will likely lead to a bunch of false positives, because the positive response better matches the training data.

That already exists, and did for a long time. It just comes in multiple, disguised forms.

So like 100 percent of the internet? Mostly bots anyway. Everything is so dumb.

Great another tool that can be used against women and minorities. With all that far right authoritarianism on the rise I can't wait for the ai to flag me as a raging homosexual so I can end up in a labor camp or death

Loving this dystopian hellhole we’ve created!

Because Project Insight/Pre-Crime weren't cautionary tales, they were defense proposals.

Have you texted someone lately to express guilt over...something? The government probably wants to know about it.

Good thing I'm one of those people who doesn't feel guilty about the things I do and express them. The feeling of guilt goes away shortly for me anyways, so I think I'm safe until they find a way to actually start reading our minds and invading our privacy of thought.
