This is like blaming the gun for killing people.
More a problem with the marketing, right? Imagine if guns were marketed as safe and helpful back scratchers, and then someone shoots themselves because they used the gun to scratch their back.
They would still be fucking dumb. Believing marketing is a mark of idiocy
Courts generally agree that a reasonable person could believe claims made in official promotional material. That's why it's not legal to outright lie in marketing and they need to go through so much trouble to properly word their statements so that they're technically true. In this case, they're just lying. They're saying the AI is safe to use for these tasks and it is not.
Uhhh not really. Guns don't just go off by themselves.
ITT: nerds who have never held a gun in their life.
I mean they do sometimes without the proper safety protocols in place, but you still blame the user in the end.
They absolutely do not.
I mean, there's a good reason the first rules of firearm safety are to always treat a weapon as loaded, and to never direct the weapon at something you aren't prepared to destroy. The key point being that you never know when some freak accident can happen with a loose pin, bad ammo, a broken spring, or just a person tripping and shaking the gun a bit too hard.
A gun should never go off by itself. You still treat it as if it can, because in the real world freak accidents happen.
