Comment on Mother of wounded Maya Gebala sues OpenAI over mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.
BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 1 day agoWould it be valid, then, to say that a search engine is responsible when someone searches how to do a crime?
How about a forum where people talk about the subject, even if they themselves weren’t going to participate in the crimes?
The chatbot is just another avenue to finding information you want to find.
I did read into the article and apparently they’re suing because OpenAI had the account flagged as a potential harm to self or others, but they had already banned the original account. What more do you want them to do? Report them to the thought police?

If somebody on a forum was discussing ways to commit a crime, that person should probably be questioned.

False equivalence. Tools are not people. We going after magic 8 balls too?

Come on, don’t be so dishonest. This “tool” is designed to create humanlike realtime communication, and it’s run by a billionaire rapist who just as easily have groomed the killer himself (thanks to it being a black box “live service").
I remember your previous comment from another thread:
But according to you, apparently powerful billionaires can.

The tool isn’t sentient, it operates on logical weights, and provides output that mimics its training set. LLMs are pretty impressive at what they can output, but it would be dishonest to attribute human qualities to it. There are decades of implementations of various AI techniques to varying degrees in attempts to achieve the same. It is on the technical basis, and the technical basis alone, that we should be carefully considering legal constraints.
How much a CEO is worth, how trustworthy they are, what cirlces they run in, shouldn’t be part of that consideration.
That doesn’t mean I think Altman isn’t a turd who can suck a fat one.
