    That’s a terrible argument. We dont blame the book because Catcher in the Rye didn’t have a conversation with him and tell him to kill John Lennon. That’s the difference.

      Speak for yourself, please.

      AI’s can’t have conversations any more than a book can. It may appear that way, but there is nobody there to have that conversation. More like flipping through a choose your own adventure book.

            What difference does it make if you call it a conversation or whatever you would call it? The LLM responded to his messages with its own messages.

            Arguing semantics of what counts as a conversation doesn’t really address the actual point, does it?
