ChatGPT has a long list of warnings, caveats, instructions, etc. Before you get to submit anything.
Like T&Cs.
If you don’t read them, yes, that’s on you.
They may be unreasonable. But so were you when you decided they weren’t worth reading.
This is in addition to all of the sensationalist headlines all over the place that talk about how unreliable the answers can be. Or rather those are in addition. They came second. After a lot of people didn’t read, or disregarded what they read.
Edit: and could people stop anthropomorphizing the language model? It can’t accuse anyone of anything. That’s sensationalist garbage.
That’s little comfort for anyone whom ChatGPT falsely accuses of sexual harassment.
The person who skips the warnings isn’t the person who’s harmed.
It predicts text. Sometimes inaccurately. That’s what those silly words are trying to indicate. It is why they are worth reading. There’s even a prompt to make sure the user reads it.
(Humans lie.)
What the human then does with the output may resemble an accusation, or may even be one.
I wonder if law professors take the time to read those silly words… I bet they do. All the more curious.
Practically speaking, it makes no difference.
Heh Heh Heh
That statement pretty much sums up the current situation, which seems to now be at the "tell it to the judge" point. :)
At least that's how I'm imagining the line of reasoning behind this point of view goes.
