Well I mean it points to our inability to control the use of ai systems, that is in fact a very real problem.
If you can't keep people from making stupid memes, you also can't keep people from making misleading propaganda or other seriously problematic content.
Towards the end of the story there was the example where they couldn't stop the system from giving people a recipe for napalm, despite "weapons development" being an explicitly banned topic. I don't think I need to spell out how that's a problem.
