ChatGPT and the ethics of AI

Like everyone and their brother, I've been playing with ChatGPT and asking it life's essential questions. It confidently tells me things, and some of those things are incredibly insightful. However, people and chatbots that are wrong often state things confidently. I saw a recent Google Answer posted on Mastodon. In this "answer," Google suggested that there were benefits to disposing of used car batteries in the ocean, including charging electric eels and powering the Gulf Stream.
