There’s an irony in the fact that the more the slips that are covered by the press and the Twitter bubble chamber -the more desensitised everyones’s getting to them - no matter how outlandish, offensive or inappropriate. Leading to a more dangerous position where there’s a growing acceptance of the obvious fallibility of current LLMs.
Maybe Google is right to be cautious. In fact, they almost certainly are, I hope they hold strong for a while longer at least.
