Reply to comment by HanaBothWays in Even Hackers are reportedly getting Laid Off by Organized Crime Groups by TradingAllIn

So, with the API they gave anyone the ability to hand ChatGPT a joystick to control an armed drone or something like that?

Just thinking out loud, here...

ChatGPT is a language model, optimised for finding a suitable output text for a given input text. It is trained on natural language understanding an processing - its input is characters, but words, grammar, and basic logic / facts are emergent properties.

It can memorise times tables and solve basic maths problems, but it can't devise an approach to solve larger problems (it can't even add and subtract larger numbers in combinations it hasn't seen before, even if they would be trivial for humans).

None of that makes it very good for tasks like controlling a drone (which would be heavily about image processing) compared to a human.

Other 2010-era developments in AI, such as in the image classification space, for example, would help a lot more for that application.

No, that’s not possible (at least not yet).

But you can prompt ChatGPT to write polymorphic malware that escapes existing detection tools and will bounce around the internet and infect any system that isn’t up-to-date on its patches (there are lots and lots and lots of systems like this).

No, you can't.

Not even idiots who think that way and try to use prompts that way can.

ChatGPT is basically a dumb Clippy autocomplete which by definition cannot innovate.

That's not my experience with it. It wrote some really solid GDScript for me which I thought was impressive because it's a very specific programming language.
