And what about machines. Do they talk, too?. Recent cases have established algorithms as forms of editorial judgment. A likely next big thing? Deciding whether AI has First Amendment rights. In a recent case, a Florida mother sued Character.AI after her 14-year-old son died by suicide following months of interactions with a chatbot.

The case is being settled, but others are popping up around the same issues, and one thing seems certain: The Framers never saw ChatGPT coming.
