Nonetheless, below is the working intro, which I've edited down considerably from my previous version: Last year, OpenAI’s latest language model, GPT-3, was tested as a viable healthcare chatbot, and promptly suggested that a fake patient should commit suicide because they “felt bad” (Daws, 2020) .
