Secondly, it's right there in the term "hallucinated". If it does have a state of mind, it was in a delusional, hallucinating state of mind. Not guilty.
good jesus do not engage in terminology they created to explain why the program is failing
Just because i call a flat tire a broken leg doesn't mean it's analogous to a broken leg and should take weeks to heal. Just because they call it hallucination doesn't mean it IS hallucination. Even if we (gags a little) assume it has a state of mind. There's no reason to assume it was delusional anymore than there is a reason to assume it's a pathological liar. Some politicians lie and they're legitimately delusional. Some politicians lie and they're pathological. Half the time we can't tell the difference and all of us are finely sculpted machines designed to read intent from a member of our own species. This is just a black box. It doesn't even HAVE a face.
just to be clear... not thoughts. Just output. Like when you type numbers into your TI-83 and hit equal sign or enter. That's not the calculator thinking and acting to give you a response. Calling it thoughts implies intelligence and that's what got everyone in the mess we're in now. A very cool calculator is still just a calculator. This tool is just doing what 60% of a first year algebra class wishes you could do. Math with words.
b) What if it is an open source AI? Who's legally responsible for that one?
I don't think being open source should be some sort of magic shield from culpability. That's like saying just because I used an open source gun to shoot you I have no culpability because the gun wasn't my design. I think the company shouldn't be culpable because trusting AI explicitly without verification is moronic. Like trusting a counting horse to do your arithmatic. Is the horse wrong? no it's just a horse. Is the owner responsible for the horse. Yeah but the real problem here is the person who went to a horse to use it as a calculator when there's no reason to expect a horse to be able to do math consistently correctly.. AI should not be a valid considered way to perform certain tasks. The fact that some moron thought to use it to look up legal precedent is on the moron.
I do however maintain that the farmer shouldn't be allowed to advertise his horse as a graphing calculator because it's not. It's just a separate issue from idiots who think a horse can do integral calculus.
just RTFA and seeing as how the informaiton wasn't actually published. Because in this case the person actually checked the horse math before turning it in. I don't even see why this is a lawsuit. IMO two things could be going on. 1) ChatGPT IS giving this answer to everyone who asks. Possible but unlikely. In my minimally educated opinion. The other is that 2) he's even MORE of an idiot and assumes if the AI said it one time it's like a website and thus is has already been published by Chat GPT. In that case while I understand why they would want to sue the company. It's wrong for the alternative reason that it hasn't been published. It was basically a one on one conversation
