In turn, I don't understand who would use _Facebook_'s porn bots, of all companies.
I know this may be a "genie is out of the bottle" situation, but I'm still annoyed that once again big tech is releasing software they don't fully understand or control, and shrug when asked about ethics or responsibility. If you can't prevent your chatbots from generating stories about raping kids, maybe don't release your chatbots to the public until you do.
> When asked what scenarios it was comfortable role playing, it listed dozens of sex acts.

What a strange thing to put in there. These lines made me distrust anything the author has to say about the technology itself as I now doubt the author knows how LLMs work. What an LLM says it can/will do, has no bearing on what it actually does.
Journalists really need to stop anthropomorphizing chatbots or their readership might follow.
