Zone1 Family of FSU shooting victim sues OpenAI over suspect’s ChatGPT use

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

I’m generally supportive of technological advancement, including AI. But if companies are forced to design these systems around the lowest common denominator of misuse, the tools will inevitably become less useful for researchers, professionals, analysts, and power users who rely on them legitimately.

What many people still fail to understand is that AI did not create most of this information. Much of it has long been available through search engines, forums, books, and countless websites. The difference is that AI systems can synthesize and deliver information conversationally and almost instantly, dramatically reducing friction and increasing speed.

Before AI:

• someone had to search,
• dig through websites,
• compare sources,
• refine search terms,
• read manuals/forums/articles,
• and piece information together themselves.

With AI:

• they can ask conversational questions,
• get summarized answers immediately,
• ask follow-up questions,
• and refine the output interactively in seconds.

That acceleration is both the promise and the concern.

When do we hold people and/or kids parents accountable for their actions?

 

[Anomalism]

This is like blaming guns for gun violence instead of people. This lunatic would’ve done something horrific either way.

Any guesses who he voted for?


Since the shooting, Ikner’s previous classmates from his time at Tallahassee State College have said his political beliefs were extreme and they were made uncomfortable with his “concerning rhetoric” – including describing Civil Rights icon Rosa Parks as being “in the wrong,” defending the use of Nazi symbols, and disparaging pro-Palestinian and Black Lives Matter protesters. It’s not clear if politics was a factor in Thursday’s shooting.

When do we hold people and/or kids parents accountable for their actions?

That's the million dollar question. But the trend seems to be going in the wrong direction, in that parents are blaming the platforms for influencing their children in ways they either didn't think about or take precautions against, such as limiting the places they can visit on-line, knowing to the best of their ability who they're communicating with online, keeping up with their children's opinions and any changes to them, and limiting their time online.

The only exception to this that I see, moving in a positive direction, is with our courts now beginning to hold the parents accountable when they don't have the foresight to not provide their emotionally or mentally unstable offspring with a firearm and that kid goes on to commit a school shooting as in the Crumbleys in regard to the Oxford High School Shooting and the father of Colt Gray in the Apalachee school shooting.
