    No, not copyright.

    What will be the situation when an AI chatbot being promoted by a company
    for support creates a message which could be interpreted as creating a
    contract ?

    Question prompted by this story, which is a sort of inverse to that where
    a chatbot incorrectly decided some customers were not eligible for
    support by inventing a new policy (as intended, by the way. This is not aberrant behaviour).

    Given it's already established law that machines can form contracts, how
    far could things go ?

    In a fitting bit of irony, users of Cursor AI experienced the limitations
    of AI firsthand when the programming tool's own AI support bot
    hallucinated a policy limitation that doesn't actually exist.

    Many thanks, fascinating. Yes that's the kind of thing I was thinking.
