Software in general has disclaimed any warranties or fitness for purpose for as long as I can remember. This is nothing new.

Will be interesting to see if those still hold any weight (in the US at least) after the latest Meta rulings established defective design as a valid reason to sue big tech for damages

That's not what this is, though.

Prohibiting the user from using it for any commercial or business purposes is definitely new!

This is not such a disclaimer. If Copilot fails its purpose of entertaining you, you can sue. /i

show me any that have claimed that they were for entertainment purposes only. sql server has never had that in its EULA. The GPL does not say that the software is for entertainment purposes only.
