I think everyone here is justified in saying "do your own research."

Plenty of stories if you just Google a bit.

I was mostly being facetious, I have done my research. I don’t really expect many legitimately good answers (although I’ll keep an open mind).

I’m still waiting for those GPT-3 and deep fake horror stories we were warned about to come to reality.

Maybe ML needs more script kiddy frameworks like KaliOS for these tools before the justifications to slow down R&D will finally be justified?

I'm a bit confused. There's plenty of propaganda written by ML. Here's some deep fakes with respect to Ukraine[0][1]. Manufacturing robots kill people all the time[2][3]. They are weaponizing ML. Like specifically GPT-3? Probably not but people do use these to write tweets and short form things.

Your techrepublic article discredits your statement:

> While any death is a tragedy, it also must be put into perspective. Humans and robots have been working together in the manufacturing industry for decades with few grievous problems. According to a 2014 New York Times report, citing OSHA, at the time robots had been responsible for 33 workplace deaths over the past 30 years. According to the National Association of Manufacturing, there are 12.3 million manufacturing workers in the US, who account for roughly 9% of the country’s workforce.
