Can’t wait to see the AI freaks on lemmy defend this, the chat logs are fucking awful and I legit recommend not reading them if you have mental health issues.

You think the problem here is the machine and not the countless compunding miseries the poor guy had to face?

Humans failed this guy. The machine is just a machine.

is the machine the problem? that seems more like a philosophical or semantic debate.

the machine is not fit for the advertised purpose.

to some people that means the machine has a fault.

to others that means the human salesperson is irresponsibly talking bs about their unfinished product

imo an earnest reading of the logs has to acknowledge at least potential evidence of openai's monetisation loop at play in a very murky situation.

Absolutely. OpenAI capitalistic actions, chosen by by humans, are absolutely a scourge and those humans bear the blame.

If there is a school shooter. We definitely need to have a discussion and changes around guns and their laws.

But we take the human to trial, not the gun.

Okay you I recommend read the logs. If you still believe this after you read them you are too far gone to bother with

Random person dies. Copyright crusaders: AI! Euros: Putin! Yanks: Communism!

Its USA's fault. Always. They're responsible for 99% of oppression in the world.
