alt Hacker NewsFalse equivalence; a hammer and a chatbot are not the same. Browsers and operating systems are tools designed to facilitate actions, not to give mental health opinions on free-text inquiries. Once it starts writing suicide notes you don’t get to pretend it’s a hammer anymore.
I think the distinction is a bit more subtle than "designed to facilitate actions", which you could argue also applies to an LLM. But a browser is a conduit for ideas from elsewhere or from its user. An LLM... well, kind of breaks the categorization of conduit vs originator, but that's sufficient to show the equivalence is false.
