Yeah, they're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Both they and Google are getting sued over kids who committed suicide, whose parents should have been monitoring them and getting them mental health treatment. If the courts decide that LLM companies bear legal and financial responsibility for user actions, then of course they're going to do this.

Coming soon: McDonalds get sued for selling burgers to a minor that ate 3 burgers every day and died! McDonalds must set thresholds per customer and collect IDs from minors!
I would be for holding companies responsible when they fuck up, like McDonalds clearly marketing burgers to minors and saying it's healthy, but we must not hold them more accountable than they really are
