Y'know, it used to be that whenever you encountered a set of instructions for something that would get you maimed or killed, you could be sure that it was written by another human being who was trying to hurt you on purpose. Nowadays, it's at least as likely as not that those instructions are the product of a generative AI that's simply regurgitating the statistically most likely sequence of letters by pure rote, lacking the context to appreciate that it's asked you to brew up a war crime in your kitchen.
And to be completely honest? The loss of that human touch hurts more than the chemical burns.
