The very human language of AI

The modern world's advances in artificial intelligence have left many grappling with some profoundly difficult ethical questions. Questions like: if a collision is unavoidable, should a driverless car swerve to hit two elderly women or one young man? AI language models can now finish your sentence ("I think that cats are … more than just a cute animal") or your paragraph ("They're also a wonderful source of nutrients.") Nudge the AI in the right direction and they'll even generate off-kilter academic papers, complete with citations of sources that might or might not exist. I've seen AI reference Australian philosopher Peter Singer's book The Life You Can Save.
