I was talking to someone yesterday (let's call them A) and they had another "AI" experience, I thought might happen but hadn't heard of before.
They were interacting with an organization and upon asking a specific thing got a very specific answer. Weeks later that organization claimed it had never said what they said and when A showed the email as proof the defense was: Oh yeah, we're an international organization and it's busy right now so the person who sent the original mail probably had an LLM write it that made shit up. It literally ended with: "Let's just blame the robot ;)".
(Edit: I did read the email and it did not read like something an LLM wrote. I think we see "LLM did it" emerging as a way to cover up mistakes.)
LLMs as diffusors for responsibility in corporate environments was quite obviously gonna be a key sales pitch, but it was new to me that people would be using those lines in direct communication.
No. LLM don’t do anything. Hold people responsible for what they write and email, however they produce their text, and this problem goes away.
Get your lawyer informed assuming your organisation uses one.

I built a free tool to help students compare the energy/water use of AI tasks—like a 3-sec video gen or 500-word GPT reply—to everyday ones like Netflix, Google, or cloud storage. Try it at https://what-uses-more.com
Adjust variables like prompt complexity or the energy source and climate of local data centers to see how usage shifts. All data from sources in a public Google Sheet. Feedback and additional sources welcome!
