It wasn't the internet/web that harmed those people. It was people on the internet. And people were telling each other to be cautious when using the internet.

Unlike modern LLMs which are advertised as intelligent enough to be used in professional settings. And unlike perpetrators in other cases, no one is punishing OpenAI, or Google or whatever the fuck AI company is responsible.

So yeah, this is worse than before.
