Half the time they say Jareth from Labyrinth, The Great Goblin from The Hobbit, or the Green Goblin from Spiderman. Sometimes they answer Dobby the house elf from Harry Potter.

They also confabulate goblins out of thin air and create made up quotes. When pressed for links to support their answers they admit they made them up.

I'm happy when they include goblins from Magic the Gathering, World of Warcraft, or Warhammer. Occasionally you'll get a good answer like Blix from Legend, but more often than not if it's a goblin you don't recognize, they made it up.

This was in contrast to when I asked it who had access to my chat logs and would only tell me to read the privacy policy. When I asked it to for specifics in the privacy policy it refuses to give wrong answers:

"When it comes to company policies, especially related to privacy and data handling, it's crucial to provide accurate information because these topics are very sensitive and important. I want to ensure you have the most reliable information, and the best way to do that is to refer you directly to the official privacy statement."

It's clear what the priority is for these chatbots: get the public to train them and protect the corporations that run them.

npm itself having vulnerabilities is a more serious problem and it's not clear that they're taking it seriously.

This is like getting mad at the guidebook for showing which plants are weeds when your neighbors complain that your unmaintained garden is full of weeds.

If Dan says "npm audit is a stain on the entire npm ecosystem", maybe it's safe to say that Create React App is a stain on the entire react ecosystem. The best time to maintain it was every single month of its existence because that's how you maintain software.

Facebook has abandoned Create React App. Dan stated that he intentionally does not maintain the project. Rather than complain about npm audit, they should give Create React App over to the community who actually use it instead of keeping it shambling along as a zombie with their name on it.

And if Facebook doesn't want to give it up, the best thing we can do as a community is to move on to any of the other great tools available that are actually maintained.

Pretty fun to watch!
