"Koko let 4,000 people get therapeutic help from GPT-3 without telling them first." People will blame this on GPT-3 but the real culprit is some organization that thought it was OK to experiment on humans without a proper ethical review. It gets worse the deep you get: "a Koko bot that asks several multiple-choice questions (e.g., "What's the darkest thought you have about this?"). It then shares a person's concerns - written as a few sentences of text - anonymously with someone else on the server who can reply anonymously with a short message of their own." And, "Morris said that the experiment "would be exempt" from informed consent requirements because he did not plan to publish the results." Via Doug Levin.See also: New Scientist.
