A bill under consideration in New York would provide a private right of action, allowing people to file lawsuits against chatbot owners who violate the law.
I’m gaming out the realistic consequences of what a law will mean. It has nothing to do whatsoever if you approve if these companies or not to try and understand the consequences of what will happen if a law like this passes. You don’t get to pick or choose if the speech is from an LLM or a company that gets limited or from an individual. There is no difference from a legal perspective.
And this law and approach to limiting speech to “protect people” from the stupid consequences of their own action, they aren’t new. And we already know the consequences. Large corporate entities will just get around them or pay an inconsequential fine, and individuals will have their rights curtailed as a result
The entire thread here is falling for an incredibly obvious astroturfing campaign because they associate LLMs with big bad corporations and the real consequences these bad companies have wreaked. But limiting free speech on the internet won’t stop them, what it will stop is our ability to communicate and resist them.
You appear to have gone completely around the twist.
You haven’t shown a logical progression of anything you claim. You don’t point to any current legal precedent, clearly aren’t paying attention to the actual wording being used to draft this bill/law proposal, and are spreading what amounts to FUD.
About the only truthful logical statement you’ve made is that it’s not about whether you like or dislike these companies.
Companies are considered a lawful entity with rights. The supreme Court literally just ruled that LLM’s do not count as the same kind of legal entity because if they did they’d be able to copyright their “work”. So I really do question how you think we go from that to “nobody has free speech because the LLM can’t give legal advice”.
Speech that causes harm has pretty much never been a protected form of speech in the US, even if I were to humor you and assume that an LLM could have the rights to it.
And you mean the “bad these companies have wrought”.
