I wonder how much time and space there will be to "play" between the first case in the US that would uphold this standard legally, and when companies lock down AI from edge cases. I've been breaking generative LLMs since they hit public accessibility. I'm a blackhat "prompt engineer"(I fucking hate that term).

That's amazing. Good guy chat bot got assassinated.
You know something you never hear? Someone speak positively of Air Canada. They seem to be just as evil as United.

Dual_Sport_Dork's Ironclad Law Of AI Productivity: The amount of effort you must expend on ensuring that the unsupervised chatbot is always producing accurate results is precisely the same amount of effort you would expend doing the same work yourself.
Surprised Air Canada's lawyers had the bravado to make claims like this. So glad they lost, I hope this becomes precedent for anything similar.

I don't know if small claims create precedent in the same way that a normal lawsuit would.
Can only speak for the UK but as the lowest civil court here, small claims decisions are not binding on any other court (including other small claims courts) but they are considered "pervasive" and thus a judge should be aware and take them into consideration.
Yeah, I mean, at the very least, it's a solid argumentation. Any judge who's given a similar case and doesn't look up, if someone else already dealt with such a case, is just doing a disservice to themselves...

As usual, corporations want all of the PROFIT that comes with automation and laying off the human beings that made them money for years, but they also fight for none of the RESPONSIBILITY for the enshittification that occurs as a result.
No different than creating climate change contributing "externalities," aka polluting the commons and walking away because lol you fucking suckers not their problem.
I smell a new "AI insurance" industry! Get a nice new middle man in there to insure your company if your AI makes a mistake.

No chat or didn't give misleading information. It acted on the companies behalf and gave truthful information that the company didn't agree with. Too flippin bad companies. You deploy robots to fulfill the jobs of humans, then you deal with the consequences when you lose money. I'm glad you're getting screwed by your own greed, sadly it's not enough.
A lot of the layoffs are due to AI.
Imagine when they find out it's actually shit and they need to hire the people back and they ask for a good salary. They'll turn around again asking their gouvernements for subsidies or temporary foreign workers saying no one wants to work anymore.
I'd love if there were some sort of salary baseline that companies are required to abide before asking for staffing handouts. "We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!"

Hi! I'm your helpful interaction agent! How can I help- sir, what are you doing with that element picker tool? Sir? Sir! You could hurt som-
The AI said I could have the pilot's seat. Open up, let me in and let's light this candle!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
On the day Jake Moffatt's grandmother died, Moffat immediately visited Air Canada's website to book a flight from Vancouver to Toronto.
In reality, Air Canada's policy explicitly stated that the airline will not provide refunds for bereavement travel after the flight is booked.
Experts told the Vancouver Sun that Moffatt's case appeared to be the first time a Canadian company tried to argue that it wasn't liable for information provided by its chatbot.
Last March, Air Canada's chief information officer Mel Crocker told the Globe and Mail that the airline had launched the chatbot as an AI "experiment."
“So in the case of a snowstorm, if you have not been issued your new boarding pass yet and you just want to confirm if you have a seat available on another flight, that’s the sort of thing we can easily handle with AI,” Crocker told the Globe and Mail.
It was worth it, Crocker said, because "the airline believes investing in automation and machine learning technology will lower its expenses" and "fundamentally" create "a better customer experience."
The original article contains 906 words, the summary contains 176 words. Saved 81%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This is, uhhh, not good. Appropriate (or maybe ironic, if you're a Canadian singer songwriter and You Can't Do That on Television alum) for an article about a bad chatbot.
