This is kind of like saying "the driver intentionally unbuckled his seatbelt". Sure — that's why cars have airbags, crumple zones, shatterproof glass, automatic emergency brakes and a zillion other ways to keep you safe, even if you're trying to do something dangerous.
- insane_dreamer 1y agoExcept the car doesn’t tell you how to disable the seatbelt, which is what ChatGPT did (gave him the idea of the workaround)
- sfn42 1y agoNo, that's not why cars have those things. Those things only work properly when people are wearing their seat belts, they don't do anything when the driver gets thrown out a window. Maybe airbags could help in niche situations. (I am making a point about traffic safety not LLM safety)
- aidenn0 1y agoForward airbags in the US are required by law to be tested as capable of saving the life of an unbelted male of median weight in a head-on collision.
- sfn42 1y agoSure, but they will generally work better if you wear your seat belt. The car is designed with seat belts in mind, what happens to people who don't wear them is more of an afterthought. That's why modern cars will beep if people forget their seat belts. You're supposed to wear it.
- jakelazaroff 1y agoOf course you're supposed to wear it. But the point of all those other features is to protect you, period. Shatterproof glass prevents pieces of the windshield from flying into the car and cutting you; its protection has nothing to do with seatbelts.
- freilanzer 1y agoNo, cars have these in addition to seatbelts, not to protect drivers who unbuckle themselves.
- jakelazaroff 1y agoA distinction without a difference.
- freilanzer 1y agoNot at all.
