AI Chatbot Brains Are Going Inside Robot Bodies. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

As usual, wildly overblown title.
Basically all the article actually says is that they want to use ChatGPT to be able to formulate recipes out of ingredients. I guess that's a handy use for LLMs, but it's not like they're driving the robot or doing anything crazy. It's a weird crutch for planning.
How the fuck they want to spin this as an ethical concern is beyond me. Unless they just mean "well now we're stealing everyone's recipes they've posted online".
- I think, it's an mixture:
  Clickbait
  Some ethicans want to do an important role
  Hollywood movies and so on have teached us so. What could be a better source of informations to build owns worldview on it?
  Some writers hope to creat a social enviroment in which the discussion to ban the new technology starts in order to keep the jobs in their industry.
  Some political figures want to outlaw AI and found peoples and groups which are against it.
  Maybe, the last point is not true at all. And the named writers, of cource, arn't full aware of their agency. Its, as often, more on a emotional ground.
Ethical concern to give a robot more AI? What kind of pseudoscientific bullshit is this?
I'm just waiting for them to get depressed
- "Reverse primary thrust, Marvin." That's what they say to me. "Open airlock number 3, Marvin." "Marvin, can you pick up that piece of paper?" Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to pick up a piece of paper.
Before I start to reading the article: Why not start by NPCs in MMORPGs?
At least, it could nobody be harmed.
