- randomdata 3y agoMemory is feeble, but I remember it being a scare. People were genuinely worried about it; mostly because it was a real thing that potentially threatened them. This doesn't seem like a scare. If GPT and the like start outputting increasingly nonsensical outputs (which, a lot of the time, that is the case already) due to tainted inputs, oh well?

- pavlov 3y agoI didn’t mean to imply it wasn’t a real thing. (I’m not a native English speaker so I’m probably missing a nuance of “scare” beyond what appears to be its literal meaning of the general public being afraid.)
- sidewndr46 3y ago"scare" in English is often used to describe a public over-reaction to a perceived threat. In the US we had the "red scare" that was an over reaction to communists in the US. A similar concept is the "satanic panic", the idea that all our children were being abducted by satanic cults.
