I don't know. In that scenario, has any google software sold as being intelligent produced text encouraging and providing help with the act?

I don't know this for sure, but also I'm fairly sure that google make a concerted effort to not expose that information. Again, from experience. It's very hard to google a painless way to kill yourself.

Their SEO ranking actually ranks pages about suicide prevention very high.

At the very least, selling a text completion api and a chat interface wrapper as "artificial intelligence" is false marketing.

Malleable software will eat you whole.

None of this makes any sense. Do you know how computers work?

This "AI" summer has turned into a drug fueled orgy of magical thinking. I am at my tether's end. I need to leave this industry to preserve my sanity at this point.

This is just "management" thinking. You can thank your local MBA for poisoning the well for everyone else.

Leaders produce value. "Managers" are dumb parrots.

Perfect choice

As soon as you send text to a text completion API, local or remote, and it returns some text completion that some code parses, finds commands and runs them, all bets are off.

All the semantics around "stochastic (parrot)", "non-deterministic", etc tries to convey this. But of course some people will latch on to the semantics and triumphantly "win" the argument by misunderstanding the point entirely.

Automation trades off generality. General automation is an oxymoron. But yeah by all means, plug a text generator to your hands off work flow and pray. Why not? I wouldn't touch such a contraption with a 10 feet pole.

There is no such thing as a 'known zero day' vulnerability.

Zero day vulnerability means it is a newly discovered one. Today. The day zero.
