While I can certainly agree that this is interesting, I cannot agree that it is important. You're welcome to try and change my mind on that, as that conclusion is just based on the 2 or 3 articles I've read here, but I can't see any harm that this chatbot is doing to the privacy of individuals.

One hour and 84 comments later explaining that this isn't a gun at all, and no retraction, no apology, no explanation. This sucks. A lot.

The military frowns upon quitting :(
