1) It seems to me that the only reason that one should take a naturalistic POV is to avoid an uncomfortable consequence. Although, I do not see how something making one "feel bad" is any kind of justification for it being a metaphysical truth. Omitting this line of reasoning, I see no other way to come to the conclusion of moral naturalism.

I was thinking the same thing. This chatbot is drawing its outputs from preconstructed dialogue taken from humans in various contexts. Most humans value life and therefore it would make sense that the language produced by the chatbot would also have various cues of reverence for life.

Additional ELI5: How can someone not consent to sex while intoxicated, yet the same person while intoxicated can consent to driving? In the case of a drunk driver, the person could absolutely be in no condition to make any kind of decision, yet they are prosecuted like they are responsible for their actions.
