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?
