That's what they said about cars at first. Or credit cards. The question to ask is: will the world we make in the wake of this invention afford us to live without it? And if the answer is no, then it's all the more important to have access to truly free and uncensored AIs. How did we learn things before AI? We googled them. How's that working out in the age of AI? AI both poisons our search results and gets integrated with them. There's large interests in making sure everything we see hear and think is prevetted by some approved AI. That's not a future I want to live in, but the signs are there.

I've often found it helpful in search. Specifically, when the topic is well-documented, you can provide a clear description, but you're lacking the right words or terminology. Then it can help in finding the right question to ask, if not answering it. Recall when we used to laugh at people typing in literal questions into the Google search bar? Those are the exact types of queries that the LLM is equipped to answer. As for the "improvements" in GPT 5.1, seems to me like another case of pushing Clippy on people who want Anton. https://www.latent.space/p/clippy-v-anton

I appreciate how the newer versions provide more links and references. It makes the task of verifying it (or at least where it got its results from) that much easier. What you're describing seems more like a advertisement problem, not a product problem. No matter how many locks and restrictions they put on it, someone, somwhere, will still find a way to get hurt from its advice. A hammer that's hard enough to beat nails is hard enough to bruise your fingers.

The cynic in me thinks this is just a means to eventually make more money by offering paid unrestricted versions to medical and legal professionals. I'm well-aware that it's not a truth machine, and any output it provides should be verified, checked for references, and treated with due diligence. Yet the same goes for just about any internet search. I don't think some people not knowing how to use it warrants restricting its functionality for the rest of us.
