> What do you mean by bearing no real responsibility for its actions?

If you give an "intelligent agent" offered by one of these model providers a task of updating the content of your website, and it updates it with inappropriate adult content, who incurs the cost of the machine's error? The model provider generally does not.

It it makes a mistake and deletes your website from AWS, who is responsible?

If it targets another website because it decides that it is "part" of your website and attempts to break into it, who is responsible?

In all of these cases, it's you. It would be the same if you downloaded an open model, ran it locally, and it happened to make the same catastrophic mistakes. The consequence to the provider is that if they offer a product that does these things, people don't buy the product.

In general, the person whose job it is to provide the company with a working, non-adult website and not hack into other websites is the one who would receive consequences for failing to meet those expectations.

The problem I see here is that ultimately, you'll have capital wanting to replace workers like others have said, and have someone roughly equivalent to a manager or vice president driving teams of agents to achieve business outcomes.

These tools can push out more results than a human can hope to evaluate in a business-sensitive, or even realistic, amount of time. You have to take it at its word that it did things right, and there's no real fear of failure or consequence on the behalf of the agent.

		Of course, but "capital" is no stranger to risk management. I'm sure we'll see some spectacular failures, but most will handle this just fine.
