It does not appear safe. It clearly says at the bottom that you should checkup important facts.
I have in my kitchen several knives which are sharp and dangerous. They must be sharp and dangerous to be useful - if you demand that I replace them with dull plastic because users might inadvertantly hurt themselves, then you are not making the world a safer place, you are making my kitchen significantly more useless.
If you don't want to do this to my physical tools, don't do this to my info tools.
- Terr_ 2y agoI attempted to respond with extending the knife-analogy, but it stops being useful for LLMs pretty quick since (A) the danger is pretty obvious to users and (B) the damage is immediate and detectable. Instead it's more like lead poisoning. Nobody's saying that you need a permit to purchase and own lead, nor that you must surrender the family pewter or old fishing-sinkers. However we should be doing something when it's being marketed as a Miracle Ingredient via colorful paints and cosmetics and dusts and gases of cheap gasoline.
- short_sells_poo 2y agoAh, because some text saying "cigarettes cause cancer" is all that's needed to educate people about the dangers of smoking and it's not a problem at all if you enjoy it responsibly, right? I'm talking about the industry and a surrounding crowd of breathless sycophants who hail them as the second coming of Christ. I'm talking about malign comments like "Our AI is so good we can't release the weights because they are too dangerous in the wrong hands". Let's not pretend that there's a strong and concerted effort to educate the public about the dangers and shortcomings of LLMs. There's too much money to be made.
