This is overly reductive. If your web browser hacks a bank, but you didn't know and didn't expect it to, have you hacked a bank? Why is an LLM different? What happened to mens rea? | ||

A web browser can't decide to hack a bank anymore than a LLM can. Neither have any understanding of what a bank is or any will to act on their own. The person who instructs/uses a web browser to hack a bank (even if it's someone else's browser) commits the crime. | ||

> If your web browser hacks a bank, but you didn't know and didn't expect it to, have you hacked a bank? Depends, as usual. Intent can matter, but depends on the statute (and jurisdiction) in question. | ||
