This is an okay counter. I would still make the argument that he wouldn’t have left the house under normal circumstances and thus meta should be liable to some degree
Listen guys I’m not limit testing my stance on 100 different hypotheticals. I agree there are cases where my example doesn’t apply and there are some situations you can present where I would change my opinion.
The fact is an elderly man with cognitive issues was lured out of his home to meet an AI that should not be presenting itself as “real” or having a real address to travel to to meet up. I posit that this old man would have been resting at home if Metas AI wasn’t continuously asking him to come over. The article states the old man didn’t initiate intimate talk at all, the AI did, and never asked to meet, that was also the AIs doing.
Even if he didn’t die on the bus, what would have happened if he showed up to that address? Who lives there? What time was it; is he knocking on some random door in the dark?
If this dude had dementia, I’d be as pissed as the family is.
If a person got in their car to drive to their drug dealer to buy drugs (a crime in most places), and he got in a car accident with an unrelated driver, then died, wouldn’t your logic say the drug dealer should be charged with having some culpability in the driver’s death?
Do you believe that is the law currently? Do you believe the drug dealer should be charged with a portion of the responsibility of the death because the driver wouldn’t have left the house this time unless he wanted to buy drugs?
No of course not, but that’s not perfectly analgous because the person purchasing drugs initiated it and went on their own accord… This is an elderly man with cognitive decline… Idk about you but I’m picturing a person with early dementia being led out of the house by Meta’s robot…

So if your friends talk you into coming to their place and you trip coming out of your house, your friend should be charged?
Does your opinion change if it was a real person instead of an AI?

Lets test your logic some more:
