@MerjaPolvinen@hcommons.social "Chatbots are 'yes, and' improv machines designed to spit out strings of words that sound plausible because they’re statistically likely." And there it is in a nutshell! AI chatbots will only do what they were programmed to do. I learned that hard, cold fact when writing code for nuclear power plant control room simulators and I had to debug a program that wasn't doing what it was supposed to do. It turns out it was doing EXACTLY what the programmer (not me) had told it to do.
