Pregnant women are not supposed to drink.

Many religions discourage or disallow drinking.

AI training and algorithms are trained and guided to certain kinds of results. Grok, for example, is claimed to be modified constantly according to Elon Musk's whims.

If you theoretically trained an AI on libel and had it set to libel anyone at the slightest prompt, then allowed users to make a request that had your AI on your server use your services to libel someone, I'm not really seeing how you would not be liable.

What tasks is it better at doing than other technologies we have available to us? I'm not being sarcastic, I generally want to know in which areas you think it is better.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head that isn't just doing the things that make it a generative AI. (It's better at generating an image that I describe to it, etc, but that's not something that another technology does.)

> Why is this "lifestyle maintainance" only applicable to kids of divorced parents?

Because there are vindictive people who try to tank their own income because they hate their ex. I had a boss who tanked his prior company to do this.

Which state do you live in that penalizes you? Federally, you'd have to have a combined income of almost $700k for filing jointly to be a penalty and even then you don't have to file jointly.

Do you truly believe that? It's a privately owned place to post thoughts, you were not being restricted if no newspaper would print your letter to the editor.
