The legislation should work like it would before. It's not something new, like filesharing in the Internet was.
Which means - punishment.
But laws don't punish ownership. Ownership is sacred.
The legislation doesn't work because part of the problem is what "products" these LLM's are being attached to. We already had this argument in the early and mid oughts in the US. And nothing was done really about the misinformation proliferated on places like Twitter and Facebook specifically because of what they are. Social media sites are protected by section 230 in the US and are not considered news aggregators. That's the problem.
People can't seem to agree on whether or not they should be. I think if the platform (not the users) is pushing something as a legitimate news source it shouldn't be protected by 230 for the purposes of news aggregation. But I don't know that our laws are even attempting to keep up with new tech like LLM'S.
NY's for a chatbot that was actively giving out information that was pseudo legal advice. Suggesting that Businesses should do illegal things. They aren't even taking it down. They aren't being forced to take it down.
