If parents let their child run on to a highway and they get hit, would that be the responsibility of the driver? Would it be the responsibility of the manufacturer of the car?

>A child in Texas was 9 years old when she first used the chatbot service Character.AI. It exposed her to "hypersexualized content," causing her to develop "sexualized behaviors prematurely."

I don't know how you can see that as anything other than a dereliction of duty on behalf of the parents. Even if Character.AI had better protections in place, how do they know their child isn't being groomed on the internet? Absolutely terrible. Children should not have open access to the internet.
