Lots of side-eyeing today of Microsoft's disclaimer that "Copilot is for entertainment purposes only". In the UK you'd often see that disclaimer used by clairvoyants etc., on the basis that taking money for purported actual clairvoyance would be a crime under the Fraudulent Mediums Act 1951, as it's viewed as taking unfair advantage of the customer's mistaken belief that actual spirits were being consulted. FMA has since been repealed, as superseded by more generalised consumer protection legislation, but that's sort of a shame as it's essentially exactly the same fraud that LLM companies are now committing. Their entire business model is taking unfair advantage of the customer's mistaken belief that an actual intelligence is being consulted.
