Pretty callous and myopic responses here.

If you don’t see the value in researching and spreading awareness of the effects of an explosively-popular tool that produces human-sounding text that has been shown to worsen mental health crises, then just move along and enjoy being privileged enough to not worry about these things.

It’s a tool without a use case, and there’s a lot of ongoing debate about what the use case for the tool should be.

It’s completely valid to want the tool to just be a tool and “nothing more”.

I get it, it’s not meant to be used this way, but like…

“The purpose of a system is what it does”

great (and brief) article.

there is "no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do"

lel we have a lot to learn from those early systems theorists / cyberneticians.
