An interesting development, but I doubt it'll be a good thing, especially at first. This looks like the kind of thing that will be an entirely new threat vector and a huge liability, even when used in the most secure way possible, but especially when used in a haphazard way that we'll certainly see from some of the early adoptors.

Just because you can do a thing, does not mean that you should.

I almost feel like this should have an NSFW tag because this will almost certainly not be safe for work.

Edit: looks like the article preview is failing to load... I'll try to fix it. ... Nope. Couldn't fix.

Yeah, it looks like basic reasoning but it isn't. These things are based on pattern recognition. "Assume all x are y, all z are y, are all z x?" is a known formulation ... I've seen it a fair number of times in my life.

Recent development has added this whole "make it prompt itself about the question" phase to try and make things more accurate ... but that also only works sometimes.

AI in LLM form is just a sick joke. It's like watching a magic trick where half of people expect the magician to ACTUALLY levitate next year because ... "they're almost there!!"

Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I don't see it...
