    What I get from this is: when humans share misinformation, they get punished for it. But when AI shares misinformation, the company can
    just blame it on "a software glitch" and instead of being punished they can just say "we're going to address this in the next system update."

    In general, any AI created by a Left-leaning company cannot be trusted.

    In December, Apple Intelligence wrote a headline for a BBC story about Luigi Mangione, the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, claiming Mangione had shot himself . That detail was entirely invented by the algorithm. The broadcaster wasn't thrilled about being blamed for something it didnt write.

    Yes, that is part of it. If that information caused some sort of riot or
    other harm, I suspect the company would be liable.
