    Useful information. That said, it's probably a little more dangerous in this case because too many people are personifying LLM behavior. I don't think any people assume The Spirit of Ukraine is a sentient being, for instance.

    But I concede that the people pushing AI certainly can be, especially since their influence has ruined so many lives already and is poised to ruin many more, both directly and indirectly.
