I have no idea about the legal reality but it does feel interesting. Language models don't really "say" stuff, they predict array indicies probabilistically. In that kind of reductive view, it's the same as a classifier which afaik can be regulated (say against discrimination). Otoh if you take the view that the sum of LLM predictions is a kind of speech at the instigation of the operator, maybe... A lot of this should be moot. Whatever Llama or whatever predicts or says, it isn't dangerous. Regulating what an LLM can generate is like banning books. Regulating specific outcomes is a different story. If I make a chatbot that gives bad medical advice, I don't see any legal difference vs giving bad medic advice without the chatbot and that can be regulated and litigated accordingly. The "AI" angle is mostly just a trojan horse to try and exert more control in the name of defeating some boogeyman.
