Like whoever wrote the underlying bot (chatgpt?) Doesn’t want a precedent saying bot is liable, so they will invest huge resources into this one case.
They probably settled thousands of cases waiting for this one to come up, thinking this one had the right characteristics.

You’d think they’d have tried a better case then. They lost in the court of public opinion as soon as it was about bereavement and their argument that the chatbot on their own site is a separate legal entity they aren’t responsible for is pants on head stupid.
In a way, we should be grateful they bungled it and are held liable, other companies may be held to the same standard in the future.
