I see what you’re getting at, but we have differing views as to what constitutes ‘evil’. Cyanide isn’t evil because it can kill a person, just as an oven isn’t evil when it burns the roast dinner.
Without possession of a level of consciousness akin to ours, good and evil aren’t really possible. An inanimate object can’t make a decision to produce a negative outcome - nor a positive one for that matter. They can only be used by us to bring about an outcome. LLM’s have been built to be ingratiating and as a result they are addictive to an extent for those that use them.
ChatGPT’s fundamental design was crafted by humans, under instruction by humans, under leadership by Musk and Altman. They carry a good part of the responsibility and blame for that kid’s death. The machine was only doing what it was created for - just as the rope was.

I don’t think any human can be trusted with LLM technology. It’s not possible to control it and use it for good.
