this to me speaks so much about what’s ethically dubious about how the tool has been rolled out.

it’s one thing to present it as a choose your own adventure spicy autocomplete for code. code either works or it doesn’t.

but the way it’s been baked into everything else presents it as _authoritative_. it’s not spicy autocomplete it’s ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

you need an incredible amount of… “computer literacy” to use it safely, but then its shoved everywhere.

@misty

remember that story a few months ago about how Air Canada tried to say that they weren’t liable for the misinformation that the chat bot on its website provided?

its like execs are super stoked for that outcome *everywhere*, just always being accountability-free at all times. /rant 😝

@phillmv Putting it directly in Facebook is just deliberately putting it in front of the users who are the least prepared to understand what the tech actually is and how unsafe asking it that question is.
