Or how about parents regulate their children, so that we don't have government nannies telling full grown adults what they're allowed to do with chatbots?
It’s not about regulating what full grown adults do with chat bots it’s about regulating what corporations do with their products.
You don't see how one leads directly to the other? Full grown adults are the users of those corporations' products. If the corporations aren't allowed to put certain features in those products then that's the same as prohibiting their users from using those features.
Imagine if there was a government regulation that prohibited the sale of cars with red paint on them. They're not prohibiting an individual person from owning a car with red paint, they're not prohibiting individuals from painting their own cars red, but don't you think that'll make it a lot harder for individuals to get red cars if they want them?
