alt Hacker NewsNah, OpenAI can’t have it both ways. If they’re going to assert that their model is intelligent and is capable of replacing human work and authority they can’t also claim that it (and they) don’t have to take the same responsibility a human would for giving dangerous advice and incitement.
Imagine a subreddit full of people giving bad drug advice. They're at least partially full of people who are intelligent and capable of performing human work - but they're mostly not professional drug advisors. I think at best you could hold OpenAI to the same standard as that subreddit. That's not a super high bar.
It'd be different if one was signing up to an OpenAI Drug Advice Product, which advertised itself as an authority on drug advice. I think in this case the expectation is set differently up front, with a "ChatGPT can make mistakes" footer on every chat.
