I wanted to interject about how “ecosystem” is a word only used for locked-in stuff like Apple and Google, but y’know what?
THIS is a proper ecosystem. It is actually organic, made of independent moving parts, unlike the clockwork made by big tech, internal to each and to a large extent indivisible.
Or maybe it’s trained on some SF. Any agents like ScubaGPT are always self-preserving in such stories.
ChatGPT is not sentient, it doesn’t feel, it doesn’t have thoughts. It has regurgitation and hallucinations.
ChatGPT isn’t sentient, doesn’t feel or have thoughts. It has <insert equally human behavior here>
While I agree with what you mean, I’d just like to point out that “hallucinations” is just another embellished word like the ones you critique - were AI to have real hallucinations, it would need to think and feel. Since it doesn’t, its “hallucinations” are hallucinations only to us.
The child having no money is not a problem.
Children are easily influenced and gullible.
A child will pester their parents to buy what they want, potentially for weeks.
Bombarding children with some product, even if for “grown-ups” can make them like it in the future when they’re grown up themselves. It is a very long-term strategy, but it does work since people tend to associate brands from their childhood with quality.
But I agree. Ads directed at kids always seemed distasteful to me, vut it was usually mixed in with “normal” TV or even YouTube ads. But now, when you can’t open a video on YouTube and have it play minimized because it’s “for kids”, you’d expect Google’d also make the ads at least less distasteful than on TV or “grownup” YouTube.
You forgot all the Bing Chats in between.

If it did circles, it’d destroy half the world.
Instrunctions unclear, geeted out.
Short answer: the bank won’t give your shiny new tree-planting business a loan as easily as it will to a “liquid tank tree replacement” one.
Long answer:
While algae are more efficient at turning CO2 into oxygen in theory, in practice algae don’t have a good climate in such a tank (no oxygen without ventilation, i.e. constant electricity and they get cooked through the glass).
All in all, more of a gimmick than anything.
More like “instead of making something that gets the job done, expect pur unfinished product to complain and not do whatever it’s supposed to”. Or just plain false advertising.
Either way, not a good look and I’m glad it’s not just us lemmings who care.
ToS are legalese bullshit. They mean next to nothing since most stuff if it comes to court, gets annuled.
ToS kind of does protect you, but holding tge service hostage or not (as in you can’t watch one little youtube video without selling your soul to Google) doesn’t make a big difference - rrasonable expectations are that users own their content (as is the case in youtube’s case - youtube doesn’t ponce on your videos afaik), although they do own rights to distributing it (obviously), and using sane technological measures to prevent what they don’t want. In youtube’s case that’s watching e.g. privated videos, and in another case it can be AI scrapers.
Robots.txt is, just like a ToS, a contract. It just isn’t legalese as it isn’t meant to scare people, but be useful to programmers making the site and those using the scraper. They’re programmers, not marketers or lawyers, of course they won’t deal with legalese if they csn avoid it.
Again, law is not leagese.
A robots.txt file is a contract by use,like when you park in a charge zone - entering the zone, you accept the obigation to pay.
When you scrape a site you first check for robots.txt in all the reasonable places it should be, look for its terms, and follow them… If you don’t want to riskgetting sued.
Similarily, entering a store, you are expected to pay for what you take. There is no entry machine like on a metro where you, instead if swiping a card, read the store’s T&C’s, but know that it’s common sense security will come after you, if not the police. Yet you clicked no “I agree”? How come you don’t just take what you want?
And robots.txt is a mature technology and easily a “standard”. Any competent lawyer will point that out to the jury and judge, who will most likely rule appropristely. The Internet is not the Wild West anymore.
