Being rude to AI seems harmless. It probably isn’t.

By Janice Huang

Let’s be honest:

You have said something to ChatGPT that you never would have said to your neighbor.

Maybe you said “go die” after it turned your portrait into kindergarten art.

Maybe you called it a jerk for fixing a sentence you never really proofread.

Or perhaps you launched into a 7-minute TED Talk after it failed to follow one “simple” instruction while doing the homework you didn’t really want to do.
