Bender's argument here, taken down a notch in rhetoric, is basically the same as the one used by people who think fan death is real and refuse to engage with emprical evidence. You want me to sleep in a room with a fan on? A thing that could *kill* me? Do you see how wildly irresponsible that is?
It is absolutely bananas that one of the most prominent anti-AI experts in America is talking like this. Talking to ChatGPT isn’t like doing heroin or downloading child porn. It will not hurt you and has no ethical valence. It will help you understand the nature of something that is now endemic.
