The availability of tools affects the kinds of decisions that one makes, enabling some that would otherwise have been difficult.

Are you talking about the gun or ChatGPT? The statement kind of works for both.

Neither, not specifically. I'm responding to "Tools are not responsible.."

At the and you are one who decide about action. Not the tool itself.

Exactly! To me, all these safety arguments are kind of anti-free speech.

I realize it gets a little tricky because it's a tool generating the speech, but the principle still applies. If we have text generators, I should be able to generate text on whatever topic I want. (If I then use that text to go harass someone, that is of course a different story.)

For many it is hard to take responsibility for own decisions which leads to giving it up in name of "safety".
