This article is so misleading. First there’s nothing secret about all this. Also these chat bots don’t just “sound” smart, they are providing value to millions

This article is so misleading. First there’s nothing secret about all this. Also these chat bots don’t just “sound” smart, they are providing value to millions of users.
- dang 3y agoOK, but the article itself is (or at least may be?) more interesting than the misleading title. Let's focus on that instead. We've edited the title now. From https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html: "Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead."
- Turing_Machine 3y ago> First there’s nothing secret about all this. Right. It's going to come as a shock to exactly no one that (e.g.) Wikipedia was used as a source. Then there's the fear-mongering about using public databases (e.g., voter registration lists) in "unforeseen ways". While that may be true, they don't seem to be concerned about non-AI actors using these databases in "unforeseen ways". Pretty much pure clickbait.
