And OpenAI will take zero accountability
Since ChatGPT already does, why not?
Like, if a person did this kind of bullshit, they'd be put in jail. When Sam Altman does it, it's a technological marvel.
Videos got too long. Im not short attention spanning for shorts but like a half hour is insane, I miss 7-12 minute videos.
Well, the short of it is; ChatGPT fed a man's delusions of being targetted by them, and surviving multiple imagined assassination attempts, even pointing the finger to the man's own mother, culminating in a murder-suicide.
It's not the only time ChatGPT has coaxed someone into killing someone else either, the video brings up another example.
Nor is it the only time ChatGPT has coaxed someone into suicide. Wikipedia has started collating a list on the subject!
Absolutely fucking not. I don’t need a sycophantic hallucinatory robot telling me to drink bleach to cure my athlete’s foot.
"Simply entrust your most sensitive health data to a for-profit AI company" - what could possibly go wrong?
A for profit AI company that doesn’t turn a profit.
HELL NO.
Holy shit no
Tech companies forgot what liability is, and given the lawyers they employ I assume they did the cost benefit analysis first.
Hypochondriac approves. They will be sick with every disease chatgpt can find.
There is literally no way they will be able to prevent that from breaking the law.

Nah.
give us your data give us your data give us your data
With my whole chest absolutely the fuck not.
Fuck every single thing about this.
I have a better idea: asking medical advice from 4chan. It's typically "you got AIDS, chop your dick off".
...of course I'm joking. Serious now, even if everything goes well (and you don't die because of the medical "advice" from the bot output), this is still a shitty idea. Medical records are private matter, "Open" "A" "I" gives no fucks about your privacy, they will sell your data to advertisers and governments.
For what purpose? Eugenics?
That's gonna be a no from me, dawg.
Right after I finish connecting my bank account to North Korea.
probably more profitable
Do I get an option of lube before I bend over and take it in the ass?
Only in the premium plans.
🤣🤣🤣😭
