Sure but my father isn't asking his fellow humans unanswerable questions about God and the universe. People don't treat other people as omnipotent, but they sure as hell treat LLMs as though they are.

>People don't treat other people as omnipotent

Funny you mention God and this statement, because believing in any particular God that says they are omnipotent is believing that humans are, since you know humans made this crap up.

Given the opportunity a very large part of the population will quickly absolve themselves of any responsibility and put it on another human/system/made up entity.

People have bowel movements, too; should we be building a machine that produces fecal matter at an industrial scale?

What a silly comparison.

Yeah I don't know why this thought terminating cliche of "but also humans" is so persistent, especially when it's almost always used to dismiss consequences of using LLMs that would never be acceptable when actually applied to humans.

A human gaslighting another human into suicide? They're a sociopath, maybe a criminal. Certainly not normal.

An LLM does the same? Humans do that all the time, what's the issue? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is it just misanthropy? I don't get it.
