Bloody hell, an entirely different story by a different news source with exactly the same terrifying safety failure from ChatGPT www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
I wanted ChatGPT to help me. So why did it advise me how to kill myself?
ChatGPT wrote a woman a suicide note and another AI chatbot role-played sexual acts with children, BBC finds.

No place like it. No place at all. Bill Nighy says it's his spiritual home (or something like that), and whenever he can he gravitates there to find a café and a comfy chair to read ‘Parade's End’.

Have a fab time.

And it’s dirt cheap, relatively, so of course. Doh.

Of course, she’s on here herself, the brilliant @phoebebakerrr.bsky.social — maybe one day herself the presenter of a seminal BBC documentary on the latest insights into our human origins

This is exactly why we need regulations on all technology, but especially this "AI" shit, yes.

And I mean how it can be made, what it can be trained on, what weights it can be given, how it can be deployed, and, maybe most importantly, how it can be marketed, including in "off-the-cuff" interviews
I think people should obviously not do this but also,,,its unreasonable to expect them not to. This is the point of regulators
Stop this. Just… Stop it. Stop using "generative AI" for anything that might actually matter, and especially things that, if it gets them wrong, *Might Fucking Kill You.*

Why does this need to be said? Why is this not obvious??? Why is this not the default way of fucking operating?! What the FUCK.
