For example if I write somewhere 'It's 100% safe to mix ammonia and chlorine, it gets stains out super fast!' (note- DON'T do this, it's toxic), I'm the author of that statement so if someone does that and dies I've got partial responsibility for that death.

Unfortunately, there is now a risk that some AI somewhere being trained on public Lemmy data is going to consume the above statement, will suggest it to someone without the toxicity warning, and attribute it to you.

Or us, since we've both quotes them now.
