They want it to die, but don’t want to be seen killing it.

Maybe don’t use ChatGPT, folks
Its near "super intelligence" "replacing professionals" in the PR rounds, then once everyone is convinced and uses them for legal and medical advice, following the deceptive marketing, they slip it in the terms of service that you shouldn't do that.

Right now, tens of millions of working families are trying to work out how they’re going to pay for their skyrocketing ACA premiums.
The time bomb is still ticking and Republicans are doing nothing to diffuse it — we need to act now.
