...nobody? I didn't determine any such thing. What I was saying was that LLMs are dangerous and we should treat them as such, even if that means not giving them some functionality that some people "want". This has nothing to do with playing god and everything to do with building a positive society where we look out for people who may be unable or unwilling to do so themselves.
And, to be clear, I'm not saying we necessarily need to outlaw or ban these technologies, in the same way I don't advocate for criminalization of drugs. But I think companies managing these technologies have an onus to take steps to properly educate people about how LLMs work, and I think they also have a responsibility not to deliberately train their models to be sycophantic in nature. Regulations should go on the manufacturers and distributors of the dangers, not on the people consuming them.
