alt Hacker NewsRandom forums aren't worth suing. Legally, reddit is not treated as responsible for content that users post under section 230, i.e, this battle has already been fought.
On the other hand, if I post bad advice on my own website and someone follows it and is harmed, I can be found liable.
OpenAI _might plausibly_ be responsible for certain outputs.
Ah, I see you added an edit of "I think there's also a legal perception that since AI is a new area, anything related to liability, IP, etc might be "up for grabs"."
I thought perhaps that's what you meant. A bit mercenary of a take, and maybe not applicable to this case. On the other hand, given the legal topic is up for grabs, as you note, I'm sure there will be instances of this tactical approach when it comes to lawsuits happening in the future.
