Timnit Gebru (she/her).So the "AI Safety" people at the chatbot company will not be the ones who think about, I don't know, the ELIZA chatbot from 60 years ago and the issues that arose let alone with this one?
FoolishOwl@timnitGebru I've heard that an appeal of "alternative medicine" is that the practitioners talk to clients longer than medical professionals talk to patients, and people feel like they've been heard and respected, even though the advice they get is useless if not outright dangerous.
More broadly, we're increasingly isolated, and this is another way to exploit our loneliness without the danger of people actually forming communities.
