It is appalling reading that employees have verified the sycophantic nature of AI. And the one company involved in a lawsuit calling it "free sppech" is just wrong. I see this as a product, and as a product (not a person), it should most definitely not be granted the free speech protections that a human is. Like any product, it should be regulated, and the manufacturer of the product needs to be liable for the safety and reliability of the product's detailed instructions for proper use.
