Why would that comparison be bad if it's accurate? Also, "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". Both can be made good and evil.

- p-e-w 3mo agoIt’s not accurate, it’s absurd hyperbole no different from the kind the people who peddle it have arrogantly ridiculed their entire lives. A mentally unstable person being “made” to do something by a chatbot is no different from other mentally unstable people doing bad things because they saw them in a TV show.
- RossBencina 3mo agoYou think mental instability is a necessary prerequisite for covert persuasion?
- febusravenga 3mo agoNo but those have less or no guards against it - so _we the society_ ;) stand and try guard them. Rest of us have some chance to stand against persuasion.
- McGlockenshire 3mo agoNo, actually, an interactive textual conversation is a significantly different thing than a television show.
- lwansbrough 3mo agoYou don't think there's a difference between passive entertainment and a conversation with a sycophantic enabler?

- latexr 3mo agoPerhaps I’m misunderstanding what you’re asking, but your parent comment isn’t saying the comparison is bad in the sense of being inaccurate, but bad in the sense of being ill-advised.
