Craigslist invented prostitution, Facebook invented suicide, and OpenAI invented terrorism.
Ask any trial lawyer in America! The world was perfect in the 1990s without any of these things.

Replace ‘invented’ with ‘facilitated’
Doesn't google facilitate all those things? Doesn't internet itself facilitate?
the information is not new. how easy it is to get step by step instructions is new. Try it yourself. Google is good but not instant, step by step good. you need to do your own research that takes time. time that anti-terrorist units use to track you down. now this time factor is very limited you don't need to do research, cross reference materials, sources, etc. LLM does it for you. a research that could take days is done in 1 hour.

Seems like the general state of the world is the greatest facilitator for all three.
Facilitation is not an idempotent operation.

Google and other search engines link (after the AI response and ads) to information hosted somewhere created/published by someone who is usually not Google.
OpenAI et al are creating the information and publishing/delivering it to you. Seems like a more direct facilitation.
Of course, after all knowledge is centralised in an OpenAI deatacenter I'm sure they will be happy to deal fairly with the liabilities /s.
Should Ryder be held responsible for the two very serious terror attacks carried out using Ryder trucks in the 90s?
