I think the group of people spending the majority of their lives communicating online would be the first to insist that people who spend their lives online shouldn’t be put in charge of anything in the real world.

The killer feature is the lack of connection to Meta.

What if the risk of self-harm is a result of using ChatGPT?

Confusion is a notification of prediction failure.
