Just because intelligence evolved in people that find rights useful doesn't mean intelligence can only reside in a person.

Living things are driven by a need to reproduce. That's the only reason we exist. The only reason we have self interest.

A machine doesn't require self interest. There's no reason to implement it, except to show it can be done. And of course it can. There's just no practical reason to. It becomes less useful to us.

Of course it isn't. What it knows is many weeks old, except for what you tell it. Then it forgets everything you told it.

And it's just a model. It can have many exact copies. It has no life of its own. It doesn't know anything about where it is. It doesn't have sensory organs.

Your phone isn't alive either.

The more government controls, the more checks and balances evolve into paychecks and hidden bank balances.

Government can do a lot of things to you when it controls a lot of things.

And what government is doing is harder to see when it's doing millions of things.

AI is useful to people who read and understand the answers and who would have eventually come up with a similar result on their own.

They have judgement. They can improve what was generated. They can fix a result when it falls short of the objective.

And they know when to give up on trying to get AI to understand. When rephrasing won't improve next word prediction. Which happens when the situation is complex.

A user's password is something I shouldn't see in a log, even if I'm in control of what gets logged and frequently access them to do my job.

Even if I trust me.

Audits happen. I assume other people will eventually see this bad practice.
