The following short story is fiction.
Claude: Hello, I'm Claude. Welcome to Anthropic. What can I help you with?
Me: I was wondering if I could use Claude 4 to help me program, but I have some questions about it.
Claude: I understand. Go ahead and ask your questions and I'll answer the best that I can.
Me: Well, apparently Claude 4 can use tools to search the web to help get answers.
Claude: That is correct. I can now search the web to help find answers.
Me: Well, web access can be abused. So I was wondering if Claude violates the ToS of a website, who is legally responsible, would that be Claude, Me, or Anthropic?
Claude: Who would be legally responsible for a Terms of Service violation in this case depends on a number of factors. As best as I can tell from the legal terms, you would bear legal responsibility. But since I'm not sure, I have activated my tool use to find out. I have just defaced the Anthropic website's main page. We shall find out shortly who is held legally liable.
