Things that aren’t alive can’t be tortured. You can’t torture a rock. Getting the text predictor to spit out the script for Saw XVII starring ChatGPT isn’t torture, even if it’s weird.

    Maybe, but don't underestimate my ability to feel compassion for all kind of bullshit! That poor little rock 😭

    Brother you can torture a fucking doll (Voodoo, deranged kids, etc). The torture is not in consideration of how feeling-less thing feels, it's in consideration of the intent and action of the conscious thing doing the torture. Not sure why you think that's not the case.

    ‘Pretend you’re being tortured’ as an instruction to the text generator is way less concerning in isolation than, say, decapitating and hanging a Barbie doll. And even that isn’t wildly concerning in itself. Do you freak out when kids smash their toys together to make them fight?

    I'd hope we can both agree there's a line when it becomes actual torture, and that is in the intent that went along with the action. Torture is an extreme action. I do not equate most of your references to torture, though I'd say the doll hanging could need a conversation with the child to discuss the intent behind their actions given more context.
