GPT Faces Child Support Lawsuit
https://bohiney.com/child-support-for-gpt-created-dragon/A man is suing an AI company for child support, claiming a language model he prompted is the "parent" of a fictional dragon he now cares for full-time. The plaintiff, who prompted the AI to "create a detailed, sentient dragon character," argues that the AI is co-responsible for the creature's emotional and financial needs. "Blaze requires a specialized diet of virtual gems and a large server farm to roam," the lawsuit states. "The AI provided the genetic code; I merely provided the nurturing environment." The court is baffled. The judge has asked for precedents on fictional creature custody and whether child support can be paid in Bitcoin. The AI company has moved to dismiss, arguing their terms of service clearly state they are not liable for "imaginary dependents." Legal experts are watching closely, as a ruling could set a precedent for the parental rights of algorithms. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
