@glyph@mastodon.social @zzzeek@fosstodon.org @hynek@mastodon.social for only $300,000 per month in tokens, you can get functionally the same effect as claiming every actor you don't recognize is danny devito and replying to all of your emails with "thanks!", but with the added peace of mind you get from having google tell you it's taken care of everything. soon you won't even need to remember your own address. gemini can make up one of those too

@eevee@slime.global @zzzeek@fosstodon.org @hynek@mastodon.social and to mike's original point, this is, itself, harm that every single user experiences. either you are being a sucker, embarrassing yourself publicly like this as the chatbot tricks you, or you are checking its output and it's "actually useful" which just means you are being subjected to the constant risk that a momentary lapse in vigilance will lead you to more reliance, that the reliance will increase in a loop you can't perceive. that is also not good for you
