Ubuntu 23.04 beta, Linux Phone improvements, Italy blocks chatGPT: Linux & Open Source News
Haijo7@thelinuxEXP The reasons for italy to ban chatgpt are not unexpected actually, spreading misinformation on the internet has afaik never been illegal. In some countries that's considered free speech. Good to see it getting banned in italy though, hopefully more countries will follow their example. It could have been concerning if it was banned for spreading misinformation, because who decides what's true and what isn't?
@Haijo7 I mean there are some clearly false statements it makes, that no one needs to identify or works even discuss
Patrick@thelinuxEXP Hi Nick. Along with the problems you mentioned with ChatGPT, I think another major issue is that it's extremely biased.
