    I like this. LLMs are powerful tools, but being rebranded as “AI” and crammed into ~everything is just bullshit.

    The more legislation like this happens where the employing entity is responsible for the - lack of - accuracy, the better. At some point they’ll notice they cannot guarantee the correct information is the only one provided as that’s not how LLMs work in their function as stochastic parrots, and they’ll stop using them for a lot of things. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

      This is actually a very good outcome if achievable, leave LLMs to be used where there’s nothing important on the line or have humans control them
