This was my thought. The author said there were details which were hallucinated. If your dog bites somebody because you didn't contain it, you're responsible, because biting people is a things dogs do and you should have known that. Same thing with letting AIs loose on the world -- there can't be nobody responsible.

Probably. Question is, who will be accountable for the bot behavior? Might be the company providing them, might be the user who sent them off unsupervised, maybe both. The worrying thing for many of us humans is not that a personal attack appeared in a blog post (we have that all the time!) its that it was authored and published by an entity that might be unaccountable. This must change.

Both. Though the company providing them has larger pockets so they will likely get the larger share.

There is long legal precedent for you have to do your best to stop your products from causing harm. You can cause harm, but you have to show that you did your best to prevent it, and your product is useful enough despite the harm it causes.

Either that or open source projects require vetted contributors or even to open an issue.

They could add “Verified Human” checkmarks to GitHub.

You know, charge a small premium and make recurring millions solving problems your corporate overlords are helping create.

I think that counts as vertical integration, even. The board’s gonna love it.
