Researchers made an OpenAI GPT-3 medical chatbot as an experiment. It told a mock patient to kill themselves

Re: Very artificial intelligence

Depends. GPT-3, at its current level of sophistication, is about on par with a toddler. If you have a job a toddler could do, you would pay and retain said toddler (or GPT-3 equivalent) to do it.

This is not an insult to GPT-3 or toddlers. It is simply the realization that such technologies are very experimental at this time. Nobody is born knowing quantum mechanics. You have to learn to walk, run, speak, read, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, calculus, differential equations, classical physics, special relativity, general relativity, and THEN you begin to understand quantum mechanics. That takes decades for the average human. Give the AI a break. It's a toddler. It will grow and learn and get better, and we humans will get better at teaching it at the same time.
