Do you not see your own contradiction? Cars and drills don’t kill people, self driving cars can! Normal cars can if they’re operated unsafely by human. These types of uncritical comments really highlight the level of euphoria in this moment.

not the same thing. to use your tool analogy, the AI companies are saying , here is a fantastic angle grinder, you can do everything with it, even cut your bread. technically yes but not the best and safest tool to give to the average joe to cut his bread.

I think the general problem what I have with LLMs, even though I use it for gruntwork, is that people that tend to overuse the technology try to absolve themselves from responsibilities. They tend to say "I dunno, the AI generated it".

Would you do that for drill, too?

"I dunno, the drill told me to screw the wrong way round" sounds pretty stupid, yet for AI/LLM or more intelligent tools it suddenly is okay?

And the absolution of human responsibilities for their actions is exactly why AI should not be used in wars. If there is no consequences to killing, then you are effectively legalizing killing without consequence or without the rule of law.
