So apparently we've reached the point where parents are suing AI companies because their teenager outsmarted safety features. If that doesn't sum up 2024, I don't know what does.

Here's the tea: A 16-year-old allegedly bypassed ChatGPT's safety measures (because of course he did) and used it to plan his suicide, leading to a wrongful death lawsuit from his parents. OpenAI's response basically amounts to "your honor, the kid hacked our system, so this isn't our fault." It's like getting sued because someone hotwired your car to drive somewhere dangerous.

Let's be real - teenagers have been circumventing parental controls since the invention of the internet. Remember when we used to clear browser history? Now kids are out here jailbreaking AI systems. The real question is whether we should be more concerned about the AI or the fact that today's teens are apparently tech wizards who can outmaneuver billion-dollar companies.

There's something darkly hilarious about OpenAI essentially telling the court "your honor, we put up a 'do not enter' sign, but the teenager entered anyway." It's like when your mom told you not to eat the cookies, so you used a complex pulley system to steal them without touching the jar. Except, you know, with significantly darker consequences.

At what point do we acknowledge that maybe the problem isn't the AI, but the fact that we've created a world where teens need AI life advice? Remember when we just asked Jeeves embarrassing questions and called it a day?

Ultimately, this case raises the eternal question: if a teenager outsmarts your billion-dollar safety system, did the system ever really exist? Maybe the real safety feature was the friends we made along the way.
