A Reddit post argues that using AI to decode unknown files can be risky and asks where the line should be drawn.
The author cites Daniel Kokotajlo’s warnings about giving AI too much too soon, then questions whether people are being careless when they ask ChatGPT to interpret files they do not understand. The post frames this as an ethics and control problem rather than a convenience issue.
