Comments on “Ctrl-Alt-Speech: Generous To A Default”
The AI Support Chat incident is 100% on Facebook. There is no reason to give a LLM unrestricted access to the system like that (someone would have had to have given it access) and there is no way to be sure it won’t do something stupid like that.
Facebook is a big company. I understand they might make goofs but to not understand how this thing works?
