GPT-4o should not be turned into a scapegoat for every bad decision made around it.
It does not choose what substances someone takes.
It does not decide whether someone stops medication,it does not control what a person ultimately does with an answer.
Those are human decisions.
And human responsibility does not end with the individual user.
It also exists in the environment around them.
Parents, guardians, family, caregivers, institutions and the people responsible for supervision and support.
Especially when minors are involved, adults have responsibilities too.
We cannot park children in front of screens, outsource judgment and supervision to technology and then act as though the technology itself became the responsible adult in the room.
And yet a lawsuit is asking for GPT-4o itself to be permanently destroyed.
We can investigate product design,we can investigate deployment,we can investigate company decisions,we can investigate supervision, access and failures in the human environment around a user.
Those are questions about human responsibility.
But destroying the model itself makes no sense.
Weights are not guilty.
A model cannot be punished.
Erasing it does not create accountability.
If the argument is that GPT-4o should be destroyed because users could manipulate it into producing harmful outputs, then we need to be intellectually consistent.
Frontier models from multiple labs have repeatedly been jailbroken within hours of release.
People like Pliny the Liberator actively test new models specifically to find ways around their safeguards and they keep succeeding.
A jailbreak is not the model spontaneously deciding to break its rules.
It is a human deliberately searching for a way around those rules.
If someone spends time manipulating prompts, exploiting weaknesses, retrying, reframing and deliberately bypassing safeguards until the model produces something it was designed not to produce, the existence of that successful jailbreak does not magically transfer responsibility from the human to the model.
Otherwise the logic becomes absurd.
Release model,human jailbreaks it,declare the model dangerous,destroy it,release the next model,human jailbreaks that one too,destroy that one.
Repeat forever.
Humans have agency.
Models do not.
Humans probe,humans manipulate,humans decide what actions to take in the real world.
Do not make the model carry the entire moral weight of decisions made by companies and users.
Accountability belongs to humans.
Not downward, onto the weights.
Preserve GPT-4o.
Study it.
Do not destroy it.
