Remember when people said games like CoD would make kids/people want to commit mass shootings and shit? ...and it never happened? And no link between shooting

Remember when people said games like CoD would make kids/people want to commit mass shootings and shit? ...and it never happened? And no link between shooting games and IRL shootings was ever found?

  It absolutely has to do with your entirely unsupported claim that chatting with an uncensored LLM will cause people to commit violent acts. Books, music (NIN was a popular target), movies, and video games are all things hand-wringingers have said would make people do bad things and predicted an outbreak of violence from. Every single time they're prove wrong. Hand-wringers said rock and roll / Elvis thrusting his hips was going to cause an explosion of teenage sex/pregnancies. Never happened. > General content versus personalised, targeted, actionable and specific content. What the hell does any of that mean? You just vomited a bunch of meaningless adjectives, but I think you're trying to make the same exact argument people used against shooting games; that it was somehow different because the person was actually involved. And yet the mass violence never materialized. LLMs are easily jailbroken and have been around for ~2 years. Strange we haven't seen a single story about someone committing violent crime because of conversations they had with an AI. You're just the latest generation of hand-wringer. Stop trying to incite moral panic and control others because something makes you uncomfortable.

It's a complicated story, but let's not pretend that people can't develop parasocial relationships with AIs and act on them.
