My point is that chatbots, and other LLM applications, are useful tools that in isolated cases have caused people to become addicted and other harmful effects, including deaths.
The same can be said of many other things, from parasocial relationships with celebrities, tools like heavy machinery, aircraft, medicine with side effects, gyms, and a long list of others. People become obsessed, addicted and in certain cases even die. Or the tool fails and kills them.
The solution shouldn’t be to immediately ban them and accuse the CEO of murder (super specific legal definition, btw) but try to regulate, add guardrails, make it safer and help the victims however they need. Sure, let’s investigate each death and see if there has been negligence, but pitchforks are not the solution.
“Never believe that anti-Semitespeople like this guy are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semitespeople like this guy have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
I asked you: “But do you know why what you said was a false equivalence and why claiming freedom of speech doesn’t make sense?”
That’s two questions and you answered with “it does.” Which doesn’t answer either of them. Until you answer those questions then the quote I posted wasn’t random, in fact, it calls out exactly what you’re doing.
Sure, I’ll be happy to.

Yes that is sort of true. But do you know why what you said was a false equivalence and why claiming freedom of speech doesn’t make sense?
It does.

It does (answer the question).
Please explain how.
You claimed it doesn’t make sense. I say “it does”.
