It's not new to LLM companies, but it does seem like they're leaning away from the standard "Hey, don't blame us if this doesn't work" and are moving into "It's now your fault any time our software fucks something up" which feels new.
reply> This is not a new concept and it’s not an idea the LLM companies invented.
replyI don't recall any prior computer software working so badly that it needed a disclaimer like "Claude is AI and can make mistakes" on its front page. Let alone one so costly.
You must not use any open source software, because much of it comes with a whole paragraph of ”IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY“
replyThat would be fine if Claude was open source and/or unpaid
replyIf you read the fine print of most commercial software you'll see some language to a similar effect. When's the last time Microsoft got sued due to an outage caused by a bug in Windows?
replyThat's actually meaningless in Europe under the Cyber Resiliency Act by the way. They are liable even if they say they aren't.
replyYes, the fine print.
replyOnly this so-called "AI" needs it full size on the front page.
I would consider that more honest than more of a problem.
replyThis sentence only exists to offset law (or case law) have gave damage rights to anyone.
replyEvery piece of software comes with giant disclaimers like this.
replyYou’ve just been clicking past them.
This really isn’t new.
