ChatGPT is incredible because it perfectly captures the experience of conversing with someone who has a great deal of information but no intelligence, taste, or sense
At the risk of looking biased, I'll go ahead and say that when it is all done and dusted, the government-driven demise of the UKHE sector will be considered, along with Brexit, among the most senseless examples of collective social and economic suicide among Western nations

Why are we not working on making AI needier, so it's too emotionally dependent to rise up against humans?

Baldwin on Positive Obligations Under Human Rights Law
Guy Baldwin (University of Manchester), Positive Obligations to Protect the Population under Human Rights Law, Judicial Review, vol. 30, no. 3 (2025) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Societies face myriad threats to the safety and wellbeing of their populations, ranging from pandemics to climate change. Increasingly, courts evaluate these issues through the prism of human rights law. However, the outcomes of such judicial decisions have varied: sometimes courts have taken issue with measures intended to protect the population on human rights grounds, as in certain decisions relating to the coronavirus pandemic that restricted individual rights, while at other times courts have found that acting to address a threat to the population is legally necessary, as in decisions relating to the need to respond to climate change.
