  • It prevents any website being able to run intercepts on pasting. This is good when they’re using it to just prevent you from doing it for no real reason but there are many situations where you don’t want a user to be able to arbitrarily just drop text into a text field.

    The big one is 2fa. A lot of the time you might need to enter a five digit code and each number may need to be entered into a particular box if you just click in the first box and press paste after copying the code from an email then it’ll paste the entire contents into that one box. You don’t want that you want some code to automatically paste each letter into each subsequent box, that requires you intercept the original paste command.










  • I suppose the argument is, don’t post content which you are not prepared to take responsibility for. Which is the case with any content posted on social media, regardless of who, or what, generated it.

    If I get chatGPT to make inflammatory comments, I’m still responsible for those comments if I choose to post them publicly. I can hardly stand behind the fig leaf of “oh I don’t believe those things only the AI believes those things”. It was still me that chose post the content publicly. Anyway the law does not recognise artificial intelligence systems as having independent agency, so the responsibility is still on the operator.
