Do you feel guilty when you are paid for your work?
No. You are an employee and you work and you are entitled to payment for your work.
Same goes for government assistance. You are a citizen and you are entitled to that assistance. It’s literally no different. Our democracy set that assistance aside for you. It’s yours, and until Congress changes the rules, you are entitled to it.


There is one simple trick to determine if you are talking to a bot. Ask the person you are talking to not to respond to a comment.
“No offense, but I’m going to check to see if you are a bot. Please don’t reply to this comment.”
Current LLMs can’t not respond. They will often write that they are “really insulted that you would say that” and that the test “doesn’t prove anything”, but they can’t not respond.
I’m sure eventually the programmers will hard code in a simple defeat for this test soon enough, but for now it still works well.
