Some will argue that ChatGPT was not at fault in a teen suicide, "there were obviously many factors at play". But consider this: if you know you can design for better understanding, and add positive friction that helps people recognize when they are being misled by synthetic text, why wouldn't you?

For clarity: As was rightly pointed out to me on fedi, ChatGPT is software and is by definition not a responsible entity. At fault are the humans working at and managing OpenAI. While the design of software can harm, the humans behind that design should be more clearly addressed.

*As @datarama rightly points out, this should be better worded as addressing OpenAI, rather than their product, while I also wanted to draw attention to how the software, and how they have chosen to design it, is a component of the issue. But yes, perhaps there should be less emphasis on their software.

@jwcph I have to say, "Radicalized by decency" is just chef's kiss.

Over the past decade Iâve truly been struggling with the idea of human-centric design.
Putting people first is a major contributor to the climate crisis.
These days, instead, I make an effort to use the term âuniversal wellbeingâ.

A hammer will not simulate sycophancy when unwell people express desires of self-harm. Claiming that âAIâ is just another neutral tool that can be used for good or bad is not only wrong and inhumane, it sanctions life-threatening risks.

För tre Är sedan hjÀlpte Jonas Söderström och jag till med översÀttningen av Design Justice Network Principles till svenska. De Àr vÀrda en genomlÀsning dÄ och dÄ, som en pÄminnelse om varför vi Àgnar oss Ät design och utveckling, vilken typ av makt vi utövar nÀr vi gör det, och vilket ansvar som dÄ faller pÄ oss.
Det har varit en del snack om Signal den senaste veckan i och med att vi har makthavare som Äterigen gÄr ut med vilseledande information.
Jag pÄminner om denna text dÀr jag redogör för varför Signal alltid kommer vara ett bÀttre val Àn WhatsApp, Àven om bÀgge tjÀnster har totalstrÀckskryptering.
"Sparar man ingen information finns ingen information att missbruka."
TyyvÀrr Àr ChatControl fortfarande pÄ tapeten och jag kommer i nÀsta vecka ut med en ny text om problemen det skapar.

It's a complete mystery and mind-boggling to me that getting hold of Weizenbaum's book Computer Power and Human Reason is so hard. Given the hyped state of the world it should be all over.
I could become a conspiracy theorist for less.
Yes, I've read it. And dream of everyone in tech reading it.
I get that voice cloning is a wonderful technology for people who have lost their voice and want to use their own voice for expressing their own words. That is giving someone control over self-expression, and self-respect. But when voice cloning is used to copy someone elseâs voice for expressing things they never said, that is about removing control and dignity and moving their power across to another actor.
When people use language models to express themselves they are not engaging in self-expression. They are using the copied voices of thousands of other human beings (living and dead) for generating thoughts those people never said, mimicking and averaging the individual quirks and wordplay of texts written in the very real joy, agony and consumed minds of those humans.
Itâs Frankenstein expression.
"Concerns around 'AI psychosis,' attachment and mental health are already growing," he added. "Some people reportedly believe their AI is God, or a fictional character, or fall in love with it to the point of absolute distraction."
