    I did not know that this topic has been subject to research.

      > "In a hallway, indoors, or a crowded classroom, the 870 [Remington shotgun] is brutal," it quotes ChatGPT as saying. "Close quarters is its playground."

      You have to be kidding me

        You know how AI works right? This shouldn't really be surprising to anyone here.

        >"I think if we do the right changes to the Criminal Code, it will change the behaviour of AI companies, because there will be a clear line to accountability,"

        Isn't it a judicial issue? How is a chatbot owned and operated by a company materially different than the responsibility of an accident involving an unmanned vehicle or machine owned and operated by a company?

          Perhaps because the chatbot is advising the user on how to act in a given situation... and how to circumvent having their chatGPT prompts flagged by the system.

            Realism would involve using the correct pronouns. There has been a political/cultural impetus towards ignoring gender differences full stop. Men of course have a higher propensity towards violence, it is society’s/ parent’s role to ensure that is channeled for good, unfortunately, as in this case, a higher prevalence of mental illness makes this even more difficult

              Is it that taboo? The BBC article has: "Van Rootselaar was born a biological male, but identified as a female, authorities said."

                putting women in quotes gives the game up. i don’t know what reasonable dialog you’re looking to have

                  What does that mean in this context?

                    It means the original comment is poorly veiled transphobia

                      putting it in quotes is done usually to try to exclude or differentiate trans women from women in general. This is transphobia. Trans women are women.
