• I made a joke elsewhere about Amazon’s search thing using AI to generate a string that would crash the Amazon server and thought about that too afterward. If that actually worked, could someone be charged with a crime?

      Id guess maybe, if I generated a string using AI and intentionally crashed their stuff, it might be crime.

      I’m only using the tools provided, not accessing anything that’s clearly pointed out I shouldn’t. If anything, that question field is specifically designed for me to use.

        If I go to a hardware store and start taking a sledgehammer to the walls “I’m only using the tools provided” is not going to be a valid defense.

          Not a good comparison, the sledgehammer isn’t meant to be used in the store, the search function in the website is, don’t be dumb.

            Okay, the hardware store has a saw for customers to cut planks to the length they need. There are many ways they could “misuse the tool provided”

              That actually makes a lot more sense, I’ll accept that. Although there are signs saying not to misuse the tools provided. Don’t see any of that on Amazon. At least not yet.

        Knowingly doing something that could be malicious is still malicious.

          You’re right on that one. Just seems like they brought it upon themselves.
