IMO, any company providing access to a chatbot/LLM should be fully liable for its output, as if it was personally created and approved by the executives.
That would preserve whatever the possibilities the tech has, but put consequences on the casual recklessness of pushing it onto the public.

FYI, @microsoft.com has done a pretty horrible thing for Microsoft 365 (formerly Office) subscriptions. All existing subscribers have been switched to a more expensive option that adds more Copilot.

Oops! But one significant correction is needed - the bot didn't "lie". It's not a person, not intelligent, and has no concept of "truth". It did generate statistically likely output on what a person might write in response to the same situation though.

Finished Split Fiction with the kid over the weekend. It was great - highly recommended! The final chapter was absolutely bonkers, tech-wise. I've never seen anything like what they did with "splitscreen" gameplay. If you aren't going to play it, at least look up a video playthrough to see.
