It's amazing that a 7 billion dollar company goes to court to fight someone for $800. Aside from obviously being in the wrong.
They're not fighting for the $800. They're fighting for the right to continue to use their shitty chatbot to reduce their support staff costs while not being liable for any bullshit it tells people.
There will be cases like this in every jurisdiction.
Exactly.
If the court hand found any other way, then any time the chatbot makes a mistake, they just wash their hands of it and let the consumer takes the hit.
This means they are responsible for what the chatbot says, and is at least moderately sane.
It would have been just a matter of time the chatbot started making "mistakes" that financially benefitted the company more and more.
Does this decision carry any precedent? It was a tribunal, not a court.
Nothing to do with the money and everything to do with the precedent. Glad it didn't work out for them.
