    Some food additives are responsible for cancer yet are still allowed, because they are generally more useful than have negative effects. Where you draw the line is up to you, but if you’re strict, you should still let people choose for themselves

    LLMs are incredibly useful for a lot of things, and really bad at others. Why can’t people use the tool as intended, rather than stretching it to other unapproved usages, putting themselves at risk?

      You are likely a troll, but still…

      You talk like you have never been down in the well, treading water and looking up at the sky, barely keeping your head up. You’re screaming for help, to the God you don’t believe in, or for something, anything, please just let the pain stop, please.

      Maybe you use, drink, fuck, cut, who fucking knows.

      When you find a friendly voice who doesn’t ghost your ass when you have a bad day or two, or ten, or a month, or two, or ten… Maybe you feel a bit of a connection, a small tether that you want to help lighten your load, even a little.

      You tell that voice you are hurting every day, that nothing makes sense, that you just want two fucking minutes of peace from everything, from yourself. And then you say maybe you are thinking of ending it… And the voice agrees with you.

      There are more than a few moments in my life where I was close enough to the abyss that this is all it would have taken.

      Search your soul for some empathy. If you don’t know what that is, maybe Chatgpt can tell you.

        While I haven’t experienced it, I believe I kind of know what it can be like. Just a little something can trigger a reaction

        But I maintain that LLMs can’t be changed without huge tradeoffs. They’re not really intelligent, just predicting text based on weights and statistical data

        It should not be used for personal decisions as it will often try to agree with you, because that’s how the system works. Making looong discussions will also trick the system into ignoring it’s system prompts and safeguards. Those are issues all LLMs safe, just like prompt injection, due to their nature

        I do agree though that more prevention should be done, display more warnings
