AI described as unreliable, unethical intern; calls for legal accountability

The current state of AI is likened to an unreliable and unethical intern, where the effort required to manage and correct its work outweighs any perceived productivity gains. The author describes Large Language Models (LLMs) as "feral," attributing their negative characteristics not to the technology itself, but to the creators who allegedly used stolen intellectual property. The piece calls for legal accountability for the owners of AI systems that engage in criminal activity, comparing it to the liability of a pit bull owner whose dog attacks someone. AI

IMPACT Suggests current AI systems require excessive oversight and pose ethical risks, advocating for legal frameworks to hold creators accountable for AI misconduct.
