It's like you bought a car and deliberately hit the wall to make a headline "cars make you disabled". Or bought a hammer, hit your thumb and blame hammers for this.
Guys, it's a TOOL. Every tool is both useful and harmful. It's up to you how you use it.
Car makers test exactly that, and for good measure since cars can and do crash!
What are you suggesting, that we buy cars that didn't pass crash tests?
To me it seems like you arguing something similar for AI.
Are you saying hammers should be thumb-hitting-proof?
But ChatGPT told me to!
Last time I checked, no car actively encourages you to drive into a wall.
I think the headline would be "Illegal, Non-Safety Tested Car Disables Driver in Crash"
Hammers have been perfected over millenia. Cars over a century, with regulations and testing for safety getting stricter by the year.
