- hackeraccount 9mo agoAre you talking about the gun or ChatGPT? The statement kind of works for both.
- ninalanyon 9mo agoNeither, not specifically. I'm responding to "Tools are not responsible.."
- t0bia_s 9mo agoAt the and you are one who decide about action. Not the tool itself.
- Wowfunhappy 9mo agoExactly! To me, all these safety arguments are kind of anti-free speech. I realize it gets a little tricky because it's a tool generating the speech, but the principle still applies. If we have text generators, I should be able to generate text on whatever topic I want. (If I then use that text to go harass someone, that is of course a different story.)
- t0bia_s 9mo agoFor many it is hard to take responsibility for own decisions which leads to giving it up in name of "safety".
