The Monster Inside ChatGPT

It's a mirror, for gosh sakes.

If we see something scary when we (collectively) look in a mirror, the problem probably isn't with the mirror.

ok, not a problem then?

There's a bit more nuance to the research which is lost in the alarmist media reporting, but welcome to the realisation that a highly technical field will be misreported on by sensationalist headlines for clicks.

Ooh, fun metaphor!

Mirrors are not entirely passive objects. Tinting, fog, and scratches affect the quality of their reflection. They can be tilted and turned to reflect a different angle of ourselves or another object entirely. Depending on their shape, they can present a near-perfect image, a distorted view, or they can focus light into a destructive point of intense energy.

Problem, maybe.

A surprise? Definitely not.
