It's become a bit of a sport to post screenshots of chatbots answering silly questions by suggesting dangerous stuff, such as eating rocks or drinking battery acid.
While it might sound fun on the surface, it worries me a lot. It worries me because there's a class of people who are likely to ask silly but potentially dangerous questions and who could be fooled by a human-sounding answer without realizing it's from a machine: children.
