Since AI can't actually own copyright they think that it can't be charged with a crime
"anyone" is doing a lot of work there, also what is "a serious manner"? There are plenty of people who use it quite a lot and end up in a mental health crisis, sometimes from trying to use it to solve a mental health crisis; or find themselves in something equivalent to people who fall down conspiracy rabbit holes and all the fallout that causes in their lives.
You may understand why it is not a good idea to use them that way, I may too, but I think you underestimate the general populations (outside HN) misunderstanding of LLMs, especially in light of the marketing stunts these companies themselves pull.
If anything, he’ll buy a Supreme Court ruling that he can’t be held personally liable for what his AI does.
I understand the applicable laws require intent. Since neither a human nor OpenAI knowingly performed these acts, it would seem very unlikely that anyone is going to be prosecuted here.
An AI model cannot currently be a criminal defendant.
So, no big criminal case, contrary to what some drama queens on here seem to wish for.
