The through line of the success many AI ventures seems to be the shifting of liability, sometimes towards the consumer, sometimes to a third party, and sometimes to the nebulous void.
With self-driving cars, companies appear to be offloading the liability of their own software to the driver (“it’s not _fully_ self driving, hands on the wheel!”), or even pedestrians (“wasn’t in the crosswalk”).
This case appears no different. The thought experiment would be, for me at least, is if Grok was just any other user that was somehow capable of creating these images at scale? Who would be liable, the image prompter or the image generator?
Or how about a system that asked the user to approve or disapprove of the image being posted before it’s posted?
Or how about a system that posted the generated image under the prompters username, and not Grok’s?
