@LouisIngenthron @emilymbender But it’s not just the prompt of the user! MS has almost no role in determining the content of MS Word. Open AI typical has done much more than the prompter to determine what speech any particular prompt will yield. I prompt, “Say something jiggly” and it spits out a graf. Who more “authored” that, OpenAI or me (or nobody)?

@LouisIngenthron @emilymbender If you encounter a person’s speech, even anonymous, that is defamatory, and you pass it along by forwarding emails, usually you’d be protected by #Section230. (This is one of EFF’s disingenuous talking points in favor of Section 230.) What if it turns out the anonymous speaker was #ChatGPT. Are you still protected? Do we deem it the speech of the prompter, or Open AI, or whom?
