  • So I read TFA, read comments, then figured out the "details" were in the gulfcoastnewsnow.com link, inside TFA.

    If the police report described there is accurate/complete (who knows?), what the person said is a bit scary.

    Invasion of their privacy (going to police)? Yes, but possibly warranted?

    Should a social worker have contacted them rather than the police? Probably, if for no other reason than to ask if they were serious about harming someone.

    Difficult questions, I'm still undecided on whether it's OK to always ignore someone's rants.

  • I'm thoroughly confused on why someone would type this into a chatbot. Was the chatbot on the sheriff's website and that's what was being used? Was the person using their on their end on getting advice on how to phrase it better?

    Then again, people willing to make these comments aren't people that I tend to understand or empathize with anyway, so using a chatbot shouldn't be something I should expect to understand either.

  • This is just the same unequal treatment under the law that you see every time the government is involved in anything.

    God knows how many thousands of reports like this these platforms send out in a given week. Nobody is following up on some peasant scheming up ways to kill his brother for stealing his inheritance or whatever. But you threaten some local bureaucrat or politician and the cops will jump at the chance to knock on your door and "remind" you who has all the power.

  • So we have a situation when if AI hacks into something, nobody is responsible, but if you say something inappropriate to the AI, then you can be arrested. That is interesting ...
