But this fun thought exercise is also commiting a crime. That should be pointed out.
>Note the concern you share, which shows how far we've slid towards said authoritarianism.
Authoritarianism? This is about people saying they will commit acts of terrorism.
I absolutely think people should be critical of this type of police work, but if someone makes credible threats of commiting acts of terrorism they should obviously be taken in by police.
You are mistaken. Talking about it is not a crime, and if you believe having an AI honeypot another AI is, please provide legal citations or a legal opinion. This is no different than generating adversarial text programmatically to trap a bot, as there is no intent. No one is suggesting terrorism, only poisoning chatbots. Of course, if honeypot chatbots are outlawed, only outlaws will have them. Interesting times ahead, for sure.
Again. You will be the precedent. It will be your case which decides whether this is a crime or not.
But if you believe the prosecution won't try you have to be deluded.
I read this entire thread before noticing how oddly relevant your respective usernames were to the conversation
Protesting is not terrorism. Well, not in most countries.
