The responsibility for the actions of he user is on the user, not on the tool.

Nobody said it was on the tool, but sometimes, it is factually also on the provider of the tool. Pretending otherwise doesn't change the law. If the provider is negligent, they can share in responsibility. This is how things other than LLMs work, why not LLMs too?

Guns have safeties even though they can get in your way, for safety's sake. Equipment has lockouts. Most things come with warnings. Automobiles are starting to get automated guardrails like automatic braking and eventually won't allow you to e.g. steer into another vehicle, because it's feasible to prevent and there is a public safety interest. There's simply zero justification for the multi-billion dollar corporations producing and selling access to these LLMs to not institute some guardrails of their own.

I can agree with this. As we learn a tool we can learn how to make it better and safer. And we can also force the manufacturers to implement these measures by finding them negligent if they have not and fining them. Yes, this is how it works.

You could, but it is not a fool proof solution and it usually gets in the way and makes your tool inferior. Think about guns with finger print scanners. Has been tried but it is not there because it is not working good enough. You can issue warnings as much as you want but what are you going to achieve? Bad guy already knows that he is a bad guy, a good guy does not plan anythings bad, any warning will be a false positive. Tools are tools, they have to be efficient on what they do. The responsibility for the actions of he user is on the user, not on the tool.

This is a tool that talks. This is how this tool works. Are you trying to imply that the chatbot has some intent and made the person to do the bad thing to gain some benefit? This would definitely change things.

If you think about it, it was the computer that allowed that person to interact with the chatbot...

To be fair, if this "stupid" thing helps people to do actual things to happen, how is it "bad and not working"? You can do not like it as much as you want but it can program and write poetry better than 90% of "real human population". If it is not impressive and and disruptive technology, I do not know what is.

Really, if you do not understand something, it does not mean it is bad, it means you do not understand it.

Regarding this specific case, even a hammer can be used to kill a person, it does not mean that the person who designed or made the hammer is a bad guy. The decision to attack people was on that person, let us stop blaming tools and start holding the bad guys accountable. So simple.
