    We’re going to learn a painful lesson

    AI isn’t responsible. People are responsible.

    It doesn’t matter if it’s code, writing, or military decisions. People can / should be held accountable. As soon as people choose to remove their own accountability, that’s when the bad stuff happens. Whether it’s slop code or innocent civilians killed in a missile strike

      People will not be held responsible; the disasters caused by AI will be attributed as a natural phenomenon -- like the weather. The companies involved in creating and operating AI will certainly not take any accountability for any "spills".

        OpenAI and Antropic are trying to create that reality, but it would be ideal if they failed.
