AI is a very competitive market where consumers are getting the product for much less than it costs. This does not seem like an area where the government needs to butt in.

Attention would be better spent on long list of other poorly behaved companies: cable ISP monopolies, health insurance companies, home insurance companies, etc.

Why wouldn't the government have incentive to intervene to end a market inefficiency like the one you described?

Because the goal of government policy is to help consumers, thats why.

No, it is to help all citizens. Even those who are not a party to a particular market.

Bear with me here: we could do all of them.

You can get these companies under control. You just have to, y'know, try.

we could do all of them, but they all seem to be up to date on their tithe. AI has a somewhat mixed record of tribute.

There's a hard test containing animal pictures, if you ace it you can say anything you want

That is only one aspect of Ai. There are a whole bunch of people who are addicted to the Ai companions. Reminds me of Big Sugar, who sponsored junk science and lobbied politicians, making salt and fat the bad guts, knowing sugar is likely worse... managing to still largely fly under the radar unlike Big Tobacco/Oil.

My hope is that we start treating Big Ai like Big Social, but before they and their dark patterns have become ubiquitous

That's basically the Amazon argument. But it too needs to be addressed
