That "weapon" quip from TFA really pisses me off. It implies actual malice on the part of the person copypasting GPT. But people aren't being malicious, they're mostly just clueless. "Weapon", "weaponized" etc sound punchy so they're a safe choice in the AI's slopertoire.
And on the subject of weapons, consider the example of a delayed-action fuze. They're designed to penetrate through the outer defenses of a target, before the warhead detonates deep inside. What might this look like in written form?
Well, you'd start by getting on the reader's side, with shared loathing against some outgroup. Get them to let their guard down. And then at the end:
>Use AI to make things clearer, not longer. Let it sharpen your thinking, not replace it.
You, yes you, the very clever and sophisticated person reading this who is exasperated by slop-grenades, should use AI more. You should use AI to "sharpen your thinking". You use AI, but in a good way. Not like those rubes, who use AI in a bad way.
Use AI. Use AI. Use AI.
Bang!
