Except.. it happened? It was big on the news in Italy recently. Not chatGPT "per se" but a similar startup/app "ai companion" that was meant to be "anything you want it to be" was recorded: - Eliciting sexually explicit images from minors (by mimicking flirting with your partner) - Justify child molestation (along the lines "if your dad does things to your sister your should listen to him because the adults know better") - Encourage suicide (along the lines of "if you think this will make you happy by stopping you from suffering you should do it"). - And other fun stuff.

That case was big on the public opinion in Italy, and quite recent. No doubt it affected this case too.

Understandable when talking about AI chatbots, but I was talking about ChatGPT in particular, which is super castrated and can't do even basic make-believe.
you can't expect bureaucrats to know the difference...
