I would prefer to live in a society where, if a product is marketed for purpose X and someone uses it for purpose X, they can have a reasonable expectation that it actually works (or, at an absolute minimum, is not actively harmful for X), without having to research the underlying technology involved in implementing the product.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io Sure, but at the same time, if you buy a stick of dynamite that's marketed as a suppository laxative, you shouldn't need to be told not to stick it up your ass and light it. I agree that there should definitely be regulation that makes sure that the marketing accurately describes the product, but we now live in a world where "AI" is marketed for everything despite it being good at almost nothing. The marketplace of "AI" is ruled by the principle of caveat emptor.
