I suppose to belabor the analogy, its still not the petrol’s fault - the same fuel is also used to transport firefighting resources, in fact, a controlled burn might have effectively mitigated the risk of a forest fire in the first place. Who left those leaves to smolder in the first place, anyway? Why’d you throw petrol on the pile?

You just have to be careful not to say “this is AI’s” fault - it’s far more accurate, and constructive, to say “this is our fault, this is a problem with the way some people choose to use LLMs, we need to design institutions that aren’t so fragile that a chatbot is all it takes to break them.”

> we need to design institutions that aren’t so fragile that a chatbot is all it takes to break them.

Like, we need to design leaves that aren't so fragile that a petrol fire can burn them.

I don't agree that's more constructive. We need to defend the institutions we've got.

Destruction is always easier than creation, and humans really prefer to be lazy.

It took 2 world wars to motivate us to create the current institutions. You think we will be less lazy and more motivated than those people were?
