I'm appalled by the groupthink in this thread.

Imagine if a suicidal person found a book that prompted them to kill themselves.

Would you sue the author for that?

This is exactly what we have here.

That is exactly not what we have here.

LLM is a new phenomenon and the rules dealing with it will be different than with books or any other prior media.

This is exactly a very weak argument here if it's an argument at all.
