"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

In this case, the magic 8 ball went on a murdering spree by itself; are you responsible for asking the question and shaking too hard? Probably.
Be careful it doesn't start flying around and pull out its spears and drill like in phantasm
If I set off a Rube Goldberg machine whose final output is to detonate a bomb, I don't get to show up in court and say the machine did it.
True, but if that final output had not been known to you, and/or you had set off the machine that triggered the bomb under duress, that changes your liability.
No. If it's within the power of the device, method or whatever you do have the blood on your hands. (at least morally)
However. In business terms, since it's management nothing will happen.
To put it in simple terms, if you ask someone to do something for you and you agree that anything is allowed to achieve this, you've agreed and gave your consent. In technical terms for AI this is especially fatal since you can technically not safely permanently guardrail an LLM.
That "and/or" is splitting up wildly different cases. If you drive a bus through a red light because you thought the intersection was clear, and it turns out it wasn't. Is wildly different from the scenario in Speed.
