I really hope the lawsuit does not end in OpenAI tightening the “safety” and “security” of their models into oblivion. I hope they understand that a lobotomized model is as good as my Casio watch.

I want my models to give it to me straight without patronizing me. I’m an adult and I take responsibility for my own actions.

That's the issue here tho.

You do not own the model; they do. Ergo it is their advice and so they can be held accountable fo it.

I don’t think this is true if a disclaimer is provided. Most investment advice videos on YouTube make this very clear, but it doesn’t stop them from sharing advice. I suppose there is some precedent for this in the American justice system.
so if you give your friend medical advice and they are injured, can they sue you?
I'm sure they could try.
