And then there would be someone between ChatGPT and execution in more or less the same way I am inbetween the code I write and execution of said code, which in most cases I'm not, as after I write the code, the computer executes it without checking with me.

If someone gives ChatGPT unfettered interaction with the internet, they are doing it, and they are liable.

That said, in this case it's designed to always involve a human in the loop and it prompts before sending any data back to ChatGPT. But still.
