Gemini didn't "know" he wasn't a child when it told him to kill himself or to "stage a mass casualty attack while armed with knives and tactical gear."

There are things you shouldn't encourage people of any age to do. If a human telling him these things would be found liable then google should be. If a human would get time behind bars for it, at least one person at google needs to spend time behind bars for this.

Sounds like a big if, actually. Can a human be found liable for this? I’d imagine they might be liable for damages in a civil suit, but I’m not even sure about that.

Preferably the C-Suite.

It sounds more poetic than an invitation or an insult that invites someone directly or not to kill themselves, in its own, in my opinion.

This isn't Gemini's words, it's many people's words in different contexts.

It's a tragedy. Finding one to blame will be of no help at all.
