Hallucinations in code are the least dangerous form of LLM mistakes

Hallucinations themselves are not even the greatest risk posed by LLMs. A much greater risk (in simple terms of probability times severity) I'd say is that chat bots can talk humans into harming themselves or others. Both of which have already happened, btw [0,1]. Still not sure if I'd call that the greatest overall risk, but my ideas for what could be even more dangerous I don't even want to share here.

I don't know if the model changed in the last six months, or maybe the wow factor has worn off a bit, but it also feels like ChatGPT has become a lot more "people-pleasy" than it was before.

I'll ask it opinionated questions, and it will just do stuff to reaffirm what I said, even when I give contrary opinions in the same chat.

I personally find it annoying (I don't really get along with human people pleasers either), but I could see someone using it as a tool to justify doing bad stuff, including self-harm; it doesn't really ever push back on what I say.
