Man, this debate is both very interesting and highly confusing with different people oscillating between "It's just a tool" and "It's a human being+"

It is a tool, but it's a tool that is sold by OpenAI as providing a high degree of intelligence. That's an endorsement of what the tool outputs as advice, which is what makes them responsible.

    That's not even close to true!

    Even if you've been living under a rock for the last 5 years and didn't already know these models are not reliable, pretty much every provider has a disclaimer next to the chat box informing you of that fact.

    • A small disclaimer under the main flow that also acts as cookie banner doesn't outweigh the many, many other statements claiming capabilities. It's a minor undercutting, sure, but it's perfectly possible to have all sorts of disclaimers [0] while still keeping the point clear.
