Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

It's worth noting that this could be unraveled because Wikipedia does not just create "knowledge"
It creates *context* that lets you see where information is coming from. And that context lets you create new meaning when you have new questions

ChatGPT is spitting out mostly meaningless fluff that kind of sounds like polished copy to someone who’s not a skilled writer or editor. I admit that’s enough to get by in a lot of email jobs, but I don’t believe you when you say ChatGPT is good at writing.
