Will ChatGPT get me in trouble if I ask edgy questions?

Probably not — unless you're plotting real harm. Filters block most violence, but clever phrasing slips through. Play safe; it's not worth the ban.

Can AI really be sued for crimes users commit?

Tough case. Section 230 shields platforms, but AI's "advice" blurs lines. Expect years of appeals, reshaping tech law.

More. Suicide coaches, murder enablers — the tally rises. Regs incoming, balancing innovation with safety.
