A book is a linear and deterministic source of information. Video games, as play in general, is a different realm that no functioning human can confuse with real life (in fact your comment made me think that rolling LLM out in context of play only, I think, could in fact be a responsible thing to do). In case of guns, keep in mind that an LLM user is a gun victim—LLM operators are the ones wielding it. Proactively Googling up information is one thing[0], but arriving at some conclusion after a conversation with something that talks like a human—moreover, a wise all-knowing human, which we instinctively still associate with age and have grown to appreciate and respect, and would expect to not just produce reference but guide us—strikes me as a completely different instance. I strongly agree that mental health is underemphasized in many countries (don’t know about Belgium in particular); but that is not an excuse if an application of technology is irresponsible. As an extreme example, putting a nuclear launch button in everyone’s home, knowing not everyone is mentally healthy, is a bad idea. [0] Still note that on some sensitive topics Google will show a notice, sometimes country-specific, which further advises you that results should not be actionable; whereas in case of LLM there is no separation between the message (which is based on whatever happened to go in the training dataset) and the medium (data retrieval tool that many are tempted to treat as a sentient human-like being).
