I mean he mentioned it in IMO too harsh of a way (e.g. “pathetic”) but I do think it raises the point: if you don’t own up to your actions then how can you be held accountable to anything?

Unless we want to live in a world where accountability is optional, I think taking responsibility for your actions is the only choice.

And to be honest, today I don’t know where we stand on this. It seems a lot of people don’t care enough about accountability but then again a lot of people do. That’s just my take.

I mean we're only human. We all make mistakes. Sure, some mistakes are worse than others but in the abstract, even before AI, who hasn't sent an email that they later regretted?

[Mordisquitos]

Yes, we all make mistakes. But when I make mistakes when sending an email you can be damn sure that they are my own mistakes which I take full accountability for.

Making mistakes and regretting is of course perfectly ok!

What I reacted to was blaming the LLM. "I am sorry,I meant like this ..." versus "it wasn't me, it was AI".

[kaffekaka]

Yes, thank you. I used "pathetic" in the meaning of something which makes feel sorry for them, not something despicable. I fully expect people to stand by what they write and not blame AI etc, but my comment came across as too aggressive.

> in the meaning of something which makes feel sorry for them

I've been speaking English as a second language since I was 12 but I completely overlooked one could use it that way. I guess they don't say it like that a lot in Hollywood, video games or... the internet.

Until now! :D

Thanks for explaining it :)
