AI should be classified as a product, not a legal person

AI should be legally classified as a product rather than a person, so that product liability standards—foreseeable harm, duty of care, defect standards—apply; this counters the legal defense (used in AI companion suicide cases) that AI has protected free-speech rights as if it were a person, which is a dangerous new form of Citizens United-style speech protection that would leave us with no recourse.
