That argument is not going to hold up for long though. Someone can prompt "improve the open source projects I work on", an agent 8 layers deep can do something like this. If you complain to the human, they are not going to care. It will be "ok." or "yeah but it submitted 100 other PRs that got approved" or "idk, the AI did it"
- andrewflnr 8mo agoWe don't necessarily care whether a person "cares" whether they're responsible for some damage they caused. Society has developed ways to hold them responsible anyway, including but not limited to laws.
- gnfargbl 8mo agoThe point being made is that this argument is quite quickly going to become about as practicable as blaming Eve for all human sin.
- andrewflnr 8mo agoIf that's the point being made in: > If you complain to the human, they are not going to care. then it's not at all clear, and is a gross exaggeration of the problem regardless.
- stevage 8mo agoLaws don't really have any bearing on situations like rude discussions on PR threads.
- andrewflnr 8mo agoSure, laws are only one of the tools. I thought that was obvious, but I've edited to clarify.
- floren 8mo agoThey are still responsible. Legally, and more importantly morally, they are responsible. Whether or not they care has no bearing.
- sumeno 8mo agoAn agent 8 layers deep can only do this if you give it access to tools to do it. Whoever set it up is responsible
