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.
