But.. no one suggested that the kid kill his parents. The chat bot is not a person, it didn’t ‘suggest’ anything - it can’t illegal for it to produce the text “you should kill your parents,” because there is no intention, it’s just a jumble of the most statistically significant pattern of words it pulled out of its training data.
If anything, that’s an argument that the authors of the data it was trained on should be held responsible for what the bot generates.
- godelski 2y agoI didn't read the whole thing but there definitely was a bot that walked a kid through how to murder someone and was encouraging them to do so. Others said that the parents were abusing their kids and asked if they were going to do something about it. I'm sure how "statistical patterns" make it okay. It's not like you're rolling a deice and getting random answers. Don't be daft.
