Instead, I merely think that my interlocutor has perhaps not fully considered what negligence means, in this particular very complex context, and what it might take to fully avoid being judged as being "negligent", and how truly difficult that is.
I think I have given my interlocutor a fair shake. Perhaps you do not. I respect that.
- kragen 5y agoYou still haven't given an argument that this doesn't amount to negligence.
- Bud 5y agoThat's easy enough to do: Alexa or any such system is extraordinarily complex and there are all kinds of edge cases that can be imagined where such a system might give out some stupid facts. As long as there is no evidence of recklessness, and as long as cases like this get corrected promptly (and Amazon did that), I can't see negligence here. Looking to a more codified legal definition of negligence comes out even more strongly in my favor, because there was no injury and no victim, here.
