OpenAI has demonstrated a severe lack of ethics, you're right, it's just hard to know how educated the average consumer is about that. The anthropic-military thing is a big deal but I suspect few outside of the tech world really understand the implications of what's going on.

Anectode: My aunt was talking about how she had a conversation with ChatGPT about how bad OpenAI was and the AI said "we need regulations", and that seemed to satisfy her somehow.
