    Gun company says you “broke the TOS” when you pointed the gun at a person. It’s not their fault you used it to do a murder.

        Well, such a knife’s primary purpose is to help with preparing food while the gun’s primary purpose is to injure/kill. So one would be used for something which it was not designed while the other would’ve been used exactly as designed.

          Guns primary purpose is to shoot bullets. I can kill just as well with a chemical bomb as a gun, and I could make both of those from things I can buy from the store from components that weren’t ‘designed’ for it.

          In this case ‘terms of service’ is just ‘the law’.

          People killing each other is just a side effect of humans interacting with dangerous things. Granted humans just kinda suck in general.

            Someone programmed/trained/created a chatbot that talked a kid into killing himself. It’s no different than a chatbot that answers questions on how to create explosive devices, or make a toxic poison.

            If that doesn’t make sense to you, you might want to question whether it’s the chatbot that is mindless.
