Except, AI and AI companies will try to convince you that it is right and legal. So I argue that there is also the fault of AI and AI companies as it in intended to be used that way.
The assumption is that the user is supposed to know better but if the user is gullible then wouldn't some of the fault be with AI and company for taking advantage?
If you don't leash your dog and it attacks your neighbors then are you and the dog not at fault?
Idiots using things incorrectly and getting bad results is not an AI created problem. When you get a dog, you are responsible for what it does. When you use AI, you are responsible for what it does.
If you don’t know how to use a chainsaw, don’t use one and then blame the manufacturer when you cut your leg off.
