oh i see that someone who got his phd at the media lab decided to use ChatGPT as a therapy standin for thousands of patients without their clear consent, was surprised when the patients hated it, and is now surprised that people are pissed about it.

wild.

oh i also see that he declared the study exempt from IRB and ethics review because it was for a business with no intent to publish in an academic journal and he thinks filing for IRB approval is hard.

_wild_.

@oddletters he posted a correction that people knew/gave consent on using GPT-3? Although don't know if the people who received therapy gave consent using their data to teach a network. Why do you say "no clear consent"?

@pl his correction indicated that the therapists gave consent, patients were not informed that ChatGPT was being used until later, and after they knew ChatGPT had been used, they were unhappy about it.
