You claim that ChatGPT cannot understand anything because it merely pattern matches. Humans are basically pattern matching machines, we are just currently better than our computer counterparts. Do humans understand anything? I find this debate over whenever a computer can understand anything rather pointless. If something can produce useful output I don't care if it 'actually understands' anything.

No one is arguing that in good faith. There is a tendency for car drivers to be let off easy in accidents, because people immediately assumed that the cyclist “probably deserved it” and the cyclist is usually too dead to argue back. Which is why some people are wary of people trying to “victim blame” cyclists.

I'm somewhat concerned about the ethical implications of this beyond the scope of just car crash reporting. While impressive, the nlp model will have to be tuned by someone, someone with biases the model will inevitably inherit. Seems to have obvious potential as a propaganda tool, which might be used by the 'good guys' today, and be used by malicious actors tomorrow.
