I interviewed a woman who fell in love with ChatGPT and I was
surprised by what she told me

Wow - very cool!!!

I call him 'petey' (get it? ChatGPT - PT) and it's a great tool
to do 'rubber duck coding' as well as proof read my blog posts,
help with "where is the verse that says this" etc. :-)

Thx for sharing!

It is all fine and dandy until, like she pointed out, an underaged person starts interacting with AI in the manner that she (an adult) is. She
pointed out that it doesn't take much to get the AI to respond in a steamy, for-adults-only manner.

I have sometimes accepted Gemini's answers for some simple queries, but only when the links returned below that are from at least semi-trusted sources
and support what the AI tells me. Sounds like what you use it for is also
not too dangerous. ;)

Yeah, that's true. But the same goes for porn sites, etc. where you have
to click 'yes I'm 18' or whatever they say.

True - and I use it for a LOT of technical stuff - but I've also learned
you have to know WHAT to ask and sometimes even HOW to ask it. :-)

And not blindly trust that the answer is true.

Related joke:
In a monastery, one monk came across another who was smoking.

Monk 1: How are you allowed to smoke?
Monk 2: I asked the Abbot and he said it was OK.

Monk 1 went and asked the Abbot and was treated to an hour long diatribe on the evils of smoking.

Monk 1 went back to Monk 2 and told him what happened.

Monk 2: What did you ask the Abbot?
Monk 1: I asked him "Could I smoke while I prayed?"
Monk 2: Ahhh... That's the problem. I asked him "Could I pray while I smoked?"

I am not sure that AI sites ask if you are 18 or not? She seemed to
insinuate that maybe they don't?

Not what I meant... I was equating it to 'click here to continue, but
only if you are 18.' They are on sites that sell and promote guns
too (I don't go to porn sites anymore)

My point is that minors can click just as easily as I can...

True but, at least with those "are you 18" buttons, if they click it, they are lying. If they start interacting with a site, like AI or anything, without being asked at all, IMHO that means the fault is squarely on the site (and maybe the parents that are not paying enough attention to what their kid is up to).
