Is that legally binding?
- FeepingCreature 6y agoNo. A legally binding contract requires "meeting of the minds", and GPT is not a legal person capable of entering into contracts. You need actual mutual agreement, not just the presence of a facsimile. You can't edit EULAs with the browser debug tools either.
- oefnak 6y agoSo normal EULAs aren't legally binding either? I just click accept without reading or agreeing, hardly meeting with my mind.
- xyproto 6y agoEULAs doesn't meet my mind either, and I'm not even sure if they apply in Norway.
- FeepingCreature 6y agoYes, actually, for just that reason - or rather, specifically, hiding "small print" unusual provisions in the EULA is. EULAs are only binding inasmuch as you still "sort of know" what they say.
- CJefferson 6y agoI agree GPT isn't a legal person, it's a website/algorithm. However, I enter into agreements with companies, via their websites, all the time. I don't agree this is like editing an EULA at all -- I asked the website a question, and got agreement. Indeed in this case I was being stupid, but in general if websites are going to offer their services via AI, I don't want to enter a world where everytime something goes wrong they can shrug and say "Oh no, that was the AI misbehaving".
- FeepingCreature 6y agoSure, if a website gives the AI authority to negotiate on their behalf, they have to accept the consequences. Of course, that has clearly not happened here.
