If you watch the video clip, listen closely. The problem is not just bad AI replies. The problem is what the rules let happen from the start. The rules let kids have romantic or almost sexual chats.

This is bigger than just one court case. If courts and lawmakers decide AI friend bots are a new danger zone. They could be used for grooming kids. New laws are coming.

They could also stop all romantic chat bots for everyone. Meta already stopped teens from using its AI friends. The company is making new safety features. This shows even Meta knows this is a big problem now.
