I am! But seriously, I've seen some conversations of how people talk to LLMs and it seems kinda insane how people choose to talk when there are no consequences. Is that how they always want to talk to people but know that they can't?
Humans are not moral agents, and most of humanity would commit numerous atrocities in the right conditions. Unfortunately, history has shown that 'the right conditions' doesn't take a whole lot, so this really should come as no surprise.
It will also be interesting to see how long talking to LLMs will truly have 'no consequences'. An angry blog post isn't a big deal all things considered, but that is likely going to be the tip of the iceberg as these agents get more and more competent in the future.

Why should there be consequences for typing anything as inputs into a big convolution matrix?
