"if hallucinations were made illegal..."

I was just yesterday brooding over the many layers of plausible deniability, clerical error, etc that protect the company that recently flagged me as a fraud threat despite having no such precedent. The blackbox of bullshit metrics coupled undoubtedly with AI is pretty well immune. I can demand review from the analysis company, complain to the State Attorney General, FTC and CCPA equivalents maybe, but I'm unsure what else.

As for outlawing, I'll present an (admittedly suboptimal) Taser analogy: Tasers are legal weapons in many jurisdictions, or else not outlawed; however, it is illegal to use them indiscriminately against anyone attempting a transaction or job application.

AI seems pretty easily far more dangerous than a battery with projectile talons. Abusing it should be outlawed. Threatening or bullying people with it should be too. Pointing a Taser at the seat of a job application booth connected to an automated firing system should probably be discouraged. And most people would much rather take a brief jolt, piss themselves and be on with life than be indefinitely haunted by a reckless automated social credit steamroller.
