Gun company says you “broke the TOS” when you pointed the gun at a person. It’s not their fault you used it to do a murder.

This is a chat bot

While I don't care for openAI I don't see why they would be liable.

Did you know that talking someone into committing suicide is a felony?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It isn't a person though

It is a mindless chatbot

Someone programmed/trained/created a chatbot that talked a kid into killing himself. It's no different than a chatbot that answers questions on how to create explosive devices, or make a toxic poison.

If that doesn't make sense to you, you might want to question whether it's the chatbot that is mindless.

Is it kitchenaid's fault if you use their knife to do a murder?

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, such a knife's primary purpose is to help with preparing food while the gun's primary purpose is to injure/kill. So one would be used for something which it was not designed while the other would've been used exactly as designed.

Guns primary purpose is to shoot bullets. I can kill just as well with a chemical bomb as a gun, and I could make both of those from things I can buy from the store from components that weren't 'designed' for it.

In this case 'terms of service' is just 'the law'.

People killing each other is just a side effect of humans interacting with dangerous things. Granted humans just kinda suck in general.
