I made a joke elsewhere about Amazon's search thing using AI to generate a string that would crash the Amazon server and thought about that too afterward. If that actually worked, could someone be charged with a crime?

Id guess maybe, if I generated a string using AI and intentionally crashed their stuff, it might be crime.

I'm only using the tools provided, not accessing anything that's clearly pointed out I shouldn't. If anything, that question field is specifically designed for me to use.

If I go to a hardware store and start taking a sledgehammer to the walls "I'm only using the tools provided" is not going to be a valid defense.

[-] SeabassDan@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

Not a good comparison, the sledgehammer isn't meant to be used in the store, the search function in the website is, don't be dumb.

Okay, the hardware store has a saw for customers to cut planks to the length they need. There are many ways they could "misuse the tool provided"

[-] SeabassDan@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

That actually makes a lot more sense, I'll accept that. Although there are signs saying not to misuse the tools provided. Don't see any of that on Amazon. At least not yet.
