MODERATORS
I've never met anyone who uses them, but I'm also not sure people actually think it's sentient. I'm sure some do, but I'd assume the vast majority are just looking to have a conversation, and they don't care if it's with a person or a (pretty good) chat bot.
Also, there is a way to use it ethically. As the post mentions, run it locally and know what you're doing with it. I don't see any issues if you're aware of what it is, just as I don't see any issue using auto-correct or any other technology. We don't need to go full Butlerian (yet).
Really? You don't think anyone that uses these don't think they are sentient?
Sure it's not like the people designing these are prone to make-believing the AI for sentient too, right?
You are coming at this from your perspective which knows them to not be real. That's not gonna be how the average moron thinks and there is more of them than you think. And they absolutely believe their is a tiny sentient brain somewhere in there that is alive. I'm all for people doing what makes them happy but also this is a loneliness confirming hole to get trapped in and absolutely opens doors to influence people through their imaginary friends that they think they can trust.
