We want a Chatbot that can tell us something useful.
Which has never been created. How about start with that.
Best we have is dark pattern chatbots used to scare people away from talking to a human. But I guess this mass dilusion helps us sleep.
Ever notice no-one ever lets you test their amazing new chat-bot.

Exactly. This is basically the digital equivalent of a parrot. I'll start to get excited if any of these bots can produce a response to the question "what did we talk about 10 minutes ago?"
I fed the script to M-x doctor, and had a nice chat. --- I am the psychotherapist. Please, describe your problems. Each time you are finished talking, type RET twice. Hi how are you today? How do you do? What brings you to see me? Doing well. My favorite food is cake. I just bought one because I got promoted at work! Is it because you got promoted at work that you came to me? Thanks so much, I just want to make my pa…
The example in the article had the same environmental engineer question, is it just memorizing responses and spitting them back?

How do you feel about this probably being most used by bad actors trying to screw with society and elections?
That's definitely a fair concern. We believe that open science and transparency are the right approach here. By releasing it, we ensure that everyone is on the same page with respect to abilities and defense.

Work lunches, weddings, and so forth are a control for that. My experience is you always know who the vegans are in advance. Although I have learned from that that you need to hover around the vegan dishes to stop the non-vegans from eating it all before the vegans get to it, or order far more than should be needed.
Good food is good food. Some good food happens to be vegan. It isn't hugely "special" especially these days, when Indian food is reasonably popular; this, incidentally, debunks the notion that vegans all eat weird concoctions of soy meant to resemble meat. I'm sure some do, but a curry which happens to contain no animal products is much more appealing.

There's one for HN too, or at least used to be: https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/dataset/bigquery-public-da...
Gentle reminder to those who may not know - you can remove your Reddit comments but you're not able to remove your HN comments. Food for thought!
The reason we don't delete entire account histories wholesale is that it would gut the threads that the account had participated in, which is not fair to the users who replied, nor to readers who are trying to follow discussion. There are unfortunately a lot of ways to abuse deletion as well. Our goal is to find a good balance between the competing concerns, which definitely includes users' needs to be protected from their past posts on the site. I don't want anyone to have the impression that we don't care about that; we spend many hours on it.

I agree with your approach though.

So what's the defense?

I really do agree with you, but butter and dairy are pretty ubiquitously used in American cooking, it's actually really difficult to eat at restaurants that don't use butter on things that would definitely be vegan otherwise.
>when Indian food is reasonably popular
I'm willing to bet that a lot Americans who try to make Indian food at home will use butter instead of oils for their pans. Also, the most popular Indian dishes that don't have meat, namely * Paneer, is cheese.
But yes, if I wanted to avoid animal products, I would definitely try the Indian place. They definitely have at least thought about whether or not animal products have gone into their food, while usually the average American isn't really sure of the ingredients to their foods.

Rice and beans, a complete meal nutritionally and easy to make interesting!
But to address the point of GP's post:
You really do need to hover over dietarily restricted food. It's really sad when you order 1 GF dish and everyone wants to try it, leaving the one person with an allergy to drink soda. Someone needs to be there saying: "there's a limited amount of this food for people with dietary restrictions. If you don't have that dietary restriction, please move on. There's plenty of food for you."
