I did not expect that point... crafting comments with future ML efforts in mind. I don't think we should care that much about it - you can't feel personally responsible for every idiot using overhyped technology to do stupid things at scale.

Don't take that part too seriously ;-)

It was meant as a joke at the end of an otherwise serious post.

I suspected that ;). But sometimes treating jokes at face value leads to interesting ideas and discussions :).

I see:-)

I think this joke in particular does have some really interesting possibilities.

Someone could make a thriller or sci-fi out of this.
