I am honestly surprised the fine is not more. We need to see more of these come out as AI is shoved dangerously into places thanks to the ability to use it with little to no technical knowledge. Especially when you are really just shoving data into an LLM and expecting a response to do some job, you are not training it to do a specific task. Like the home buying AI that was on HN yesterday.

The fine was about false advertising, not dangerousness. Three of the commissioners signed on to concurring statements emphasizing that they are not opposed in principle to the use of AI in law.

If a tenant is able to file a case that costs his corporate, PE owned landlord $25k to litigate, that's a win in my book. That's the same landlord who increased the rent 20% per year for the last 5 years because "the Market", well, Blackstone, welcome to the "market" where each eviction now costs you a collateral amount for ruining a hard working persons life. Imagine that, if there were a consequence to greed?
