    We don’t jail gun manufacturers either.

    When a tool is used to kill a human, the user of the tool is guilty.

      So when a kid commits suicide because the Generative AI LLM agreed with him in a harmful way?

      Edit: In before someone says something about how the gun manufacturers still shouldn’t be held accountable.

      Gen AI LLM’s in this instance are products working as intended/designed, and are being used in a way that the manufacturer knows is harmful and admits is damaging. They also admit that there are no laws to safeguard persons against how the AI is designed, implemented etc and these things don’t even have warning labels.

      Guns by contrast have lots of laws involving how and where they can be sold and accessed, as well as by whom, and with respect to informing the user of the dangers. You don’t sign a EULA or a TOS when you buy a gun, waiving your rights to sue. You don’t agree to only arbitration.

          I’ll agree with you there, I shot myself in the arm when I was only 3 with a pellet gun. My dad realized his mistake and kept all guns away from me, until age 10, when he took me out to shoot some bottles and cans, and teach me proper gun safety.

          Yes that might have been an earlier childhood lesson than many parents might agree to, but he was proper about what and when he taught me. Like, aside from the obvious of keep the gun on safety and never point it at anyone or anything unless you intend to use it, who thinks of things like, don’t lean on a rifle with the barrel in the dirt? The dirt can and will clog the barrel and cause the gun to explode!

          Anyways, back on point of AI…

          Most parents aren’t just up and giving their kids guns, but major corporations are shoving this AI shit up everyone’s asses, as much as they can anyways, knowing good and well that one AI model says 1+2+3=15 and another AI model is suggesting people suffering pain to use heroin…

          So what’s the answer, avoid AI? Well fuck Google then…

      When a human dies because a tool was designed with needless danger, the manufacturer is often prosecuted.

      But again, I think you’re missing the point.

        When guns have no legal uses, this is a direction we should go. Until then, this holds people accountable for other people misusing their product.

        In a chain of responsibility, the last person who’s accountable should be punished, not the first.
