Old McDonald Had a Server Farm—A I, A I, Oh!—A Mock Trial
summary
A mock trial stages a privacy clash where a gossip AI trained on broad web plus dark‑web dumps tells a live show that a famous fighter secretly collects dolls, triggering a lawsuit. An expert ran 1,000 prompts and reports the inference appears ~50% with dark‑web data but admits tests occur two years after the event; the company admits no source logging, used dark‑web scraps, prioritized output filtering over provenance, and the law clerk split leans to not liable.
