It depends on what you want out of life. * If you want a medical device, it's a problem. * If you want a fun game or piece of social media, it's probably not.

It depends on what you want out of life. * If you want a medical device, it's a problem. * If you want a fun game or piece of social media, it's probably not. Over time, we'll know the contours a lot more. A lot of engineering came about purely empirically. We'd build a building, and we'd learn something based on whether or not it fell down, without any great theory as to why. I suspect deep language models might go the same way. Once a system works a million times without problems, the risk will be considered low enough for life-critical applications. (And once it's in all life-critical applications, perhaps it will decide to go Darknet on us. With where deep learning is going, the Terminator movies seem less and less like science fiction.)
