In the same way that the habit of 'false balance' from journalists played a major role in serious harm from fossil fuels since the 2000s
This credulous delusion that text output software is a living being is going to cause major harm well into this decade and the next one

This is where any of the AI safety crowd should focus, potemkin systems that are nowhere near sentience as marketed but using dark patterns to unsuccessfully replace useful labor. chatbots are NOT reasonable interfaces nor are they sentient. I hope genAI takes the AGI cultists down with it.

Meta's AI Profiles Are Indistinguishable From Terrible Spam That Took Over Facebook
The Meta AI profiles everyone is mad about are old, were a colossal failure, and many are already dead.
