> My stand with most (not all) things like this is that intent matters

Really curious how this applies to infinite, AI generated, content without oversight.

Like, what is the “intent” in this Seinfeld example. Can an LLM have “intent”?

A LLM can’t have an intent any more than a car or a bomb or a hammer can.

It’s the intent of the LLM instructor/creator that matters for things like mens rea. And in the case of “no oversight”, that just sounds like typical negligence, like leaving a car in neutral when parking on a hill.
