OK, gather 'round, kiddies - let's do a "why are lawyers like this" thread.
Specifically, let's do a "why does the simplest software come with mandatory IP licenses that assert claims to all the rights you have in the universe, up to and possibly not excluding in your firstborn offspring.

The correct metric for posting is not "is it good" it's "does it expand the possibility for human joy by those willing to receive it"

I will always remember an interview with a US Presidential advisor who realized there was not another room, where the real people in charge with the real information and real authority worked.
It was just them and few coworkers. They were The Room.
And they were making the decisions for millions.

Conspiracy theories take hold because it's much more reassuring to believe that an evil cabal is running everything than that nobody is running everything and every human from the poorest child to the President of the United States is just winging it.

Both petitions for #StopKillingGames reached their goals. Thank you all for helping it get over the line! Please keep pushing the count up, in case there are any invalid signatures and to make sure the UK and EU know people care about this.

Personification and attributing intelligence to things that don't have it, or to things that don't exist, isn't inherently bad. In fact, it's often good, a major source of human creativity.
But it does mean humans have the neural architecture to mistake chatbots for thinking, feeling, living things.

Human beings personify and grow emotionally attached to pets, drawings, even inanimate objects that don’t look like living things. They attribute thoughtful personalities to trees; find little robots cute and childlike.
Of course many humans won’t clearly distinguish between a chatbot and a person.

This is not a comment on this particularly, but I've said on different platforms there are relatively significant portions of humanity that aren't psychologically equipped to understand something that so closely mirrors human intelligence. Thinking through ~how and why it responds just doesn't work.
NEW: People are being involuntarily committed to psychiatric care facilities — and even ending up arrested or jailed — after becoming fixated on ChatGPT and other chatbots and spiraling into psychosis.
