If Microsoft offers this commercial product claiming that it answers questions for you, shouldn't they be liable for the results?

Honestly my prejudice was that in the US companies get sued already if they fail to ensure customers themselves don't come up with bad ideas involving their product. Like that "don't go to the back and make coffee while cruise control is on"-story from way back.

If the product actively tells you to do something harmful, I'd imagine this becomes expensive really quickly, would it not?
