no computer system just does stuff on its own. a human (or collection of them) built and maintains the system, they are responsible for it
neural networks are just a tool, used poorly (as in this case) or well

I truly don’t understand comments like this.
You agreed with the other poster while reframing their ideas in slightly different words without adding anything to the conversation?
Most confusingly you did so in emphatic statements reminiscent of a disagreement or argument without there being one
> no computer system just does stuff on its own.
This was the exact statement the GP was making, even going so far as to dox the nonprofit directors to hold them accountable… then you added nothing but confusion.

Yup, GP covered this word for word… AI village built this system.
Why did you write this?
Is this a new form of AI? A human with low English proficiency? A strange type of empathetically supportive comment from someone who doesn’t understand that’s the function of the upvote button in online message boards?
my point was more concise and general (should I have just commented instead of replying?), sorry you’re so offended and not sure why you felt the need to write this (you can downvote)
accusing people of being AI is very low-effort bot behavior btw
seems to me when this kind of stuff happens, there's usually something else completely unrelated, and your comment was simply the first one they happened to have latched onto. surely by itself it is not enough to elicit that kind of reaction

But at what point is the maker distant enough that they are no longer responsible? E.g. is Apple responsible for everything people do using an iPhone?
“it depends” (there’re plenty of laws and case law on this topic)
I think the case here is fairly straightforward
the only actual humans in the loop here are the startup founders and engineers. pretty cut and dry case here
unless you want to blame the AI itself, from a legal perspective?
