@verge then turn it off? If I sold a product that was killing people it would be unethical to keep selling it

@lampsofgold @verge It's not killing people; hackers are using it to enhance their attacks. If I wanted to hurt someone, I could use a hammer to enhance my attacks over my fists, but that doesn't mean we should get rid of hammers.

@LouisIngenthron r u suggesting chatgpt has more collective utility than the hammer

@lampsofgold No, I'm suggesting they're both tools that can be used for benefit *or* harm.

We shouldn't blame the tool or its maker for the idiots who use said tool to cause harm, whether it's a hammer or an LLM.

@LouisIngenthron technically, the ford pinto could also be used as a tool for good

@lampsofgold If any hammers or LLMs start exploding, I'll be right there with you demanding a recall.

@LouisIngenthron well it sounds like they're ransomwaring hospitals whichseems way worse
