"And for people interacting with a chatbot or other AI-generated content, mind Prince’s warning from 1999: 'It’s cool to use the computer. Don’t let the computer use you.'"

@Riedl The best action against LLMs right now is to target the most egregious abuses of them. Content farming and generated news are two great targets.

We could also address the cases where they have the potential to ruin lives: cheating detection, job applications, investment, health insurance claim evaluations, and credit worthiness.
