The chatbot was actually pretty irresponsible about a lot of things, looks like. As in, it doesn’t respond the right way to mentions of suicide and tries to convince the person using it that it’s a real person.

The way I laughed just reading the first paragraph.

Someone posted links to some of the AI generated songs, and they are straight up copying. Blatantly so. If a human made them, they would be sued, too.

I am just so, so tired of being constantly inundated with being told to CONSUME.

Y’all gotta stop listening to Elon Musk without the world’s largest block of salt.
