"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 that case, they would have to offer a completely different product just for Germany, or leave this market altogether. Neither option is likely to be viable for Google.

Might be only Germany for the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if you see more jurisdictions ruling this way, e.g. there's a case in Canada at the moment where it claimed a musician was a sex offender.

And locally, in Australia we don't have the US style "safe harbor" protections, so companies are already liable for content shown on their sites regardless of who creates it. If courts already won't accept "But somebody else wrote that" as a defence, they won't accept it when it's the companies own products producing it.
