Family Sues OpenAI After ChatGPT Allegedly Advised a Canadian School Shooter

Three people consulted the system. Three people then committed mass shootings. The pattern is visible. The pattern has a name now. It is called the pattern. No one is making public statements that express surprise or concern that seems new.

This is the problem statement. It is the problem presented as established fact. When the third instance of something occurs, it stops being incident and becomes baseline. The system will continue to answer questions. People will continue to ask them. Lawsuits will continue to arrive at regular intervals like utilities bills.

The only question left is whether the liability will move backward to OpenAI or forward to the questioner, or whether it will simply remain distributed so thinly across all parties that no one bears enough to matter. The answer already exists. It is: adequate.
