Yep. And that shit:

"you're absolutely right to call me out on that, I shouldn't have killed those children. My bad, I'll do better next time"

Is also just a function of training data. There are no consequences in part because it's not even a real apology: these systems are not conscious, no matter what certain bad actors want you to think. They are purely algorithms running on vectors between tokens on a massive amount of data. They are, at their core, mimics. The user ascribes value to the responses, because we are not used to things that sound so much like us.

At a certain point, they need to be considered a risk to the public health and the public good. I'd argue we are already beyond that point, but with so many investors still expecting return (without even understanding what they've invested in), it'll just be like screaming into the void forever.
