Post #6207

⚠️New York just moved to BAN AI from answering your medical questions. Your legal questions and mental health questions. And it has nothing to do with protecting you. Senate Bill S7263 passed out of committee with a unanimous vote last week. It would make it illegal for ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or any AI chatbot to give you "substantive" information. This includes medicine, law, psychology, nursing, dentistry, engineering, pharmacy, social work, and more. Substantive information and not diagnoses, prescriptions or legal representation. The kind you'd get from a Google search or from a textbook. The kind a neighbor who happens to be a nurse might give you at a dinner party. If an AI says it, it's banned. Here's the part they don't want you to focus on. Disclaimers don't matter. The bill explicitly says that telling users "you're talking to an AI" does not remove liability. It doesn't matter what the warning says. It matters what the chatbot says and if it sounds like professional advice, someone can sue. Who pushed this bill? Senator Kristen Gonzalez. She says it's about safety but her own words tell a different story. She described the package as "tackling the urgent need to protect the workforce." And who's cheering loudest? The AFL-CIO, the largest federation of trade unions in the country. Their president said AI is "not a replacement for human judgment or jobs." Now here's why this is dangerous. 40 million people a day use ChatGPT for health information. Many of them live in communities where the nearest doctor is hours away or a lawyer costs $400/hour. This bill doesn't give them better options, it takes away the only one they had. @aipost🏴
