Depending on the circumstances, yes, that would totally be illegal.

It’s called “aiding and abetting”. In most countries it’s illegal to convince someone to do something illegal.

If you are someone the victim sees as an authority figure (especially if the victim is a minor), a bunch of other other charges can be added too.

In Canada, the UK or the USA, for example, someone who “aided or abetted” someone to commit a crime can be punished exactly as if they had committed the crime themselves.

Hmm, kinda? A lot of industrialization went hand-in-hand with losing customizability and things made to fit.

A while ago I talked with a woman in her 90s and she said that when she was young, no serious TV moderator would have worn an ill-fitting off-the-shelf clothing.

The same holds true for all sorts of articles: custom-made shoes, custom-made furniture, custom-made houses, for example. All that is relegated to the luxurity sector and most people just go with ill-fitting off-the-shelf industrial goods instead.

AI kinda fits into that department for many tasks. Low-quality translations, low-quality texts, low-quality work, all off-the-shelf and ill-fitting but cheap and mass-produced.

We had that here too. For a week. Then it all sorted itself out. Mostly because people got their panic buying out of their system and everything returned to normal.
