"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Link to the court ruling from the article (in German): https://the-decoder.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/26_O_869_26_begl_Abschrift_Urteil_v_28_05_2026_Geschwarzt_Geschwarzt_Geschwarzt.pdf

Found the article on HN. The article itself is meh, but I couldn't find any other site reporting on it.

…in Germany.

In theory, supposing you could find a judge that wasn't too corrupt, it should play out the same way in the US. What can Google possibly hide behind? It's their in-house AI posting things on their own website. Who else can they point their finger at? Their only real defense would be to throw money at the problem.

Hahaha! No! It's the USA!

Free speech (or at least the American version of "I shouldn't face any consequences for saying nasty things", rather than "the government can't put me in prison for disagreeing with them") is sacrosanct, or at least it is for wealthy and important people, which in the USA includes multinational megacorps like Google.

So no, don't expect a US court to hold a US tech giant to account for saying a thing. The courts have been writing exemptions for Google from liability for decades. Why would they stop now?
