      “Our Air Canada flight attendant punched you in the face for no reason, then our CEO kicked you in the nuts? Not our fault. They’re independent agents.”

    In effect, Air Canada suggests the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions

    This is some corporations are people bs they are trying to get away with. This wasn’t about greed over a couple hundred bucks, it’s about precedent and boy were they trying to set a harmful one for the consumer in ANY industry that utilizes AI with customer support, perhaps other applications as well.
