Yeah, taking the service down is an acceptable solution, but do you think Open AI will do that on their own without outside accountability?

I'm not arguing about regulation or lawsuits not being the way to do it - I was worried that it would get thrown out based on the wording of the part I commented on.

As someone else pointed out, the software did do what it should have, but Open AI failed to take the necessary steps to handle this. So I may be wrong entirely.
