They're a trillion dollar company, they can do whatever the fuck they want as long as the penalty remains fines.
This was one verdict, and from now on they can be fined up to 250k for every time when their AI writes this offensive statement, provoked or not. Note: not every day, but every single time it happens somewhere.
If they don't do anything about it, then there might come more such verdicts about other similarly offensive statements, and then imagine some people provoke them all repeatedly, systematically...
Can they still ignore them all and do nothing as long as the fuck they want?? ;-)
