Using chatbots and feeling ok about it seems like a no-brainer. It’s technology that provides me a multiple percentage point productivity boost, it’s used by over a billion people, and a boycott of chatbots is well outside the optimal or feasible space of actions to help the world.
I think the restaurant analogy fails because ChatGPT was not developed in malice, just recklessness. For the open source models, there’s not even an element of greed.

My impression is that if the restaurant owner killed the family out of recklessness instead of malice, most people would still feel a very strong sense of disdain and choose to avoid the restaurant.
