Reliability Notes

RECAP copy of Dkt. 115. Primary authority for pleading-stage holdings, including that the court was not prepared to treat Character.AI outputs as protected speech at that stage and that the app could be a “product” insofar as claims targeted design defects rather than ideas or expressions. Not a merits finding of liability. Entered on the docket May 21, 2025.
