I’m sorry what? And by that I mean what the hell is wrong with you and the people that think it’s a good idea? If it works that way and enough people did that then it would be intentionally endangering people’s lives.

It’d be the business’ fault not ours, you shouldn’t use unreliable user data for something so important.

Legally you are correct but ethically you are wrong. If they include false data that causes a crash, everyone that intentionally contributed that data is morally at fault. You don’t get to wash your hands of it just because the business is the one legally liable for it.

I mean ethically its a debatable topic, if I don’t help fix someone’s car and then he crashes it, its not my fault, he shouldn’t have driven it while it was broken.

Same with user generated or AI data, it works 99.9% of the time, but that 0.1% is too dangerous to deploy in a life endangering situation.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
