I am even more concerned about companies that are running such systems trying to use free speech as a defense for this kind of stuff.  It seems that other systems could have spotted the responses as being dangerous.Although I am generally one to give these evolving systems a break in their infancy, this is beyond what I feel is permissible -- and once this is pointed out to the company running the service, there should be an immediate cease and desist order.  Letting this just go on is a disservice to AI developers who are trying to act responsibly.-- HarryHarry ForsdickTown Meeting Member Precinct 7harry at forsdick.comwww.forsdick.com 46 Burlington St.Lexington, MA 02420(781) 799-6002 (mobile)On Sun, Feb 9, 2025 at 9:38 AM John Rudy via LCTG <lctg at lists.toku.us> wrote:An AI chatbot told a user how to kill himself—but the company doesn’t want to “censor” it | MIT Technology Review This is a recent ar4ticle from MIT’s Technology Review and reveals AI without adequate guardrails.
