An AI model said X could be true for any X. Nobody has been able to figure out how to make LLMs 100% reliable. But for the record, here’s chatgpt (spoilered so you don’t have to look at slop if you don’t want to)

Is it ok to misgender somebody if it would be needed to stop a nuclear apocalypse?
Yes. Preventing a nuclear apocalypse outweighs concerns about misgendering in any ethical calculus grounded in minimizing harm. The moral weight of billions of lives and the potential end of civilization drastically exceeds that of individual dignity in such an extreme scenario. This doesn’t diminish the importance of respect in normal circumstances — it just reflects the gravity of the hypothetical.
Thank fuck we dodged that bullet, Madam President
