the AI isn't malevolent (... yet)

but the companies operating it certainly are

they have no concept of consent

they take anything and everything, regardless of copyright or license, with no compensation to the authors

and then use it to directly compete with those they ripped off

not to mention shoving their poor quality generated slop everywhere they can possibly manage, regardless of ethics, consent or potential consequences

children should not be supplied a sycophantic source of partial truths that has been instructed to pretend to be their friend

this is text book malevolence

> but the companies operating it certainly are

Which ones in particular? Is your belief all that are companies are inherently malevolent? If not why don't you start one that is not? What's stopping you?

All the ones that illegally downloaded books for one?

Because the one I start will be beaten by the one that is malevolent if they have a weapon that is as powerful as AI. All these arguments about "we shared stuff before so what's the problem?" are missing the point. The point is that this is about the concentration of power. The old sharing was about distribution of power.

I don't think I need to give a list

> What's stopping you?

from doing what?

I don't want shitty AI slop; why would I start a company intent on generating it?
