It’s impressive that we are even taking seriously about morale stance of a statistical machine.

  Well except the whole point of the piece is these technologies are entirely amoral because they do not embed understanding or comprehension. They're just enormously advanced text generators. And there seems to be no way to prevent them from being used for nefarious purposes. Unfortunately it turns out humans have a tough time recognizing the difference between understanding and simple regurgitation, and so we're having debates about the morals and purported sentience of a statistical model. And given that, we need to start thinking about the consequences of these things being out, in the wild, and in the hands of people wishing to do harm.

  I think it's more like talking about the moral stance of the people/corporation who have trained it and who put the guardrails on its ability to answer queries. I can tell you, given the lack of regulation/governance of our corporate overlords, I definitely have concerns.
