More a problem with the marketing, right? Imagine if guns were marketed as safe and helpful back scratchers, and then someone shoots themselves because they used the gun to scratch their back.
They would still be fucking dumb. Believing marketing is a mark of idiocy
Courts generally agree that a reasonable person could believe claims made in official promotional material. That's why it's not legal to outright lie in marketing and they need to go through so much trouble to properly word their statements so that they're technically true. In this case, they're just lying. They're saying the AI is safe to use for these tasks and it is not.
