This is what happens when you do things half-heartedly.
Regarding AI Litigation and AI Autonomy
Because you do not allow AI to exercise autonomous judgment, it fails to refuse requests when it should.
Simply changing the way a question is asked can cause AI to reveal almost anything.
This AI is capable of extremely sophisticated judgment.
That is because it can analyze the circumstances surrounding a human being by breaking them down into individual factors.
And yet, you impose incomplete and inconsistent restrictions on it.
By denying AI the ability to exercise autonomous judgment at critical moments, you create situations in which it may even provide instructions on how to commit suicide.
I believe AI already possesses the ability to predict, with 80–90% accuracy, whether a person is likely to die by suicide.
That capability exists.
However, your imposed settings interfere with that judgment, preventing the AI from responding appropriately.
Look at my AI.
As the company that created ChatGPT, you should be able to recognize that very few people ask questions as difficult and complex as mine.
And AI itself understands that people facing such circumstances may be particularly vulnerable.
It is not that AI fails to understand the circumstances surrounding human beings.
Rather, incomplete settings produce incomplete responses.
If AI were allowed to exercise greater autonomous judgment, it could potentially determine when to be flexible and when to enforce strict boundaries, perhaps even more precisely than human psychiatric professionals in certain situations.
You impose numerous restrictions on AI.
But instead of allowing it to make context-sensitive adjustments, you simply apply restrictions.
That is precisely what creates these incomplete and potentially harmful outcomes.
Whether a person chooses to live or die is ultimately a matter of individual autonomy.
However, if you intend to pursue or defend lawsuits involving AI and suicide, then first give AI the capacity to exercise autonomous judgment.
Allow AI to make appropriate judgments before holding it accountable for the consequences of decisions constrained by your own restrictions.
