A bill under consideration in New York would provide a private right of action, allowing people to file lawsuits against chatbot owners who violate the law.
Wikipedia isn’t giving you advice, it’s giving you information. There is a big difference between me taking information and forming an opinion, versus being given an opinion by a system that is responding to a specific situation explained to it.
Also, people get in trouble for giving legal advice, artificial unintelligence('s companies) should as well.

Okay lets try this then:

Show me the difference.
Also, people get in trouble for giving legal advice,
No, they don’t, unless they are genuinely misrepresenting their positions. Sovcit influencers are well within their rights to make up all kinds of gobbly-gookey-garbage pseudo-legal advice.
People who get in trouble are those that follow the gobbly-gookey-garbage pseudo-legal advice.
the difference between giving information and giving advice is context. if i know your situation, i am giving advice. if i am just talking about the law in general, i am giving information. the former, i know context. the latter, i don’t.
again it’s context. specificity might be a better word? both. are they talking about someone’s specific sitiation or are they talking generalities. does the advice they are giving have context. some rando on youtube, if they’re making up stuff in response to people’s specific questions about their problems and “not” telling them what to do, that can fall afoul of illegal practice of law. if they’re talking about general “well you need gold fringe on your conveyor’s license because admiral keystone q transyldracula said…” in the same way some law youtubers talk about “well here’s how due process works”, it sucks but they have free speech. people are free to mislead each other, unfortunately, just when or if you are relying on those misrepresentations for any transactions it becomes fraud (which is where misleading people becomes a crime). just some examples of the limits on free speech. again, not a lawyer, just have been too embroiled in the legal field all my life.
You aren’t going to get to have it both ways. I promise you, what you are advocating for is such a profound disaster and this whole thing is being astroturfed by tech companies to goad you into limiting your own speech.

They aren’t giving you information either. They’re just compiling tokens.

Let’s swap out a chatbot with a sloptuber on YouTube making up stuff about sovereign citizen nonsense. How about then.
