I, For One, Welcome Our New Self-Driving Overlords

Trouble in LLM Land;

“We have been advised that the shooter was in constant communication with ChatGPT leading up to the shooting. We also have reason to believe that ChatGPT may have advised the shooter how to commit these heinous crimes. We will therefore file suit against ChatGPT, and its ownership structure, very soon, and will seek to hold them accountable for the untimely and senseless death of our client, Mr. Morales.”

Via Katie Millier: This is now the 20th death tied to ChatGPT via court records.

  1. Methinks AI in general has a lot to answer for!

    Hallucinations, citing non existent legal cases, following the narrative.. I could go on.

  2. Troubling president, suing a none person for crime committ5ed by a person.
    What’s next suing gun manufacturers?
    Oh, wait, that has already been tried!

    1. A perfectly stable president, not trembling at all. And I thought you advocated suing nun persons?

  3. Not so troubling a precedent.

    Guns are inanimate objects. AI at this point is still garbage in, garbage out, so it is little different from a person telling someone else to kill directly.

    There are plenty of examples showing how the answers from ChatGPT have the same leftist bias as the people who programmed it.

    1. The Supreme Court ruling on Cox and the other IP case show that guns are very unlikely to follow that precedent.

      On the other hand chatbots just repeat back to you what you say. A human will probably only so far down that trail before saying something like your dumb or ring the suicide hotline mate. Chatbots probably need something similar even if it breaks the chat bot feature of trying to engage. keyword hit say “suicide” Ring the suicide hotline oh and I forgot our conversation. start again…. customer screams because they lost there friend but oh well.

  4. I agree that manufacters should have limited liability regarding their products; for example, people try to sue gun manufacturers for the bad use of their product, but not vehicle companies for use of their products in intentional mowing down of pedestrians, nor acid manufacturers for its use in disfigurement, etc. The difference would be that safety issues seem to have been disregarded with AI, similar to Ford considering that recalls of Pintos were more expensive than payments to the families of the desceased.

  5. Google will be in trouble for all those bank robbers using their maps to navigate their crimes. They were in “constant communications” with the app after all.

  6. L – In a contest of A.I. lethality. Who wins ? Maybe, an innocuous looking imported E.V. S.U.V. co-ordinating an attack with 49,000 others targeting…

  7. Some people in love with their chatbots apparently. Look, if some douchenozzle in probably a Mustang smokes a crowd of onlookers either intentionally or not, it’s not Ford’s fault. If, however, someone at Ford tells said douchenozzle to just aim at the crowd and floor it, either directly or through some vehicle interface, they totally share the blame.

    1. “As my HS shop teacher instructed us … ”machines are NOT your friend””

      We had a similar shop teacher. His nickname was Lefty.

      1. We actually had a one armed Principal in our HS. Rumor was that he was an Olympic swimmer! He swam circles around everyone.

  8. Heh.Wait for discovery.
    Are we about to confirm the conspiracy theory.?
    AI/Chatbot is actually a bunch of East Indian Call Centre inmates..pretending to be a computer program…
    For the tech lords will throw their minions to the wolves,in a heartbeat.
