I get that. I don’t understand where the line for free speech ends for a human vs a machine. Why was she held liable but the developers of the machine can’t be for what seems similar. If humans can cross the not 1st amendment protected speech; an AI can pass that threshold too.

Where the company is held liable in some way. Not the chatbot of course.

If a young child commits a crime, generally the parents are looked at for responsibility. I think the AI could be considered to be like a child, no?
