I think that what you mention is part of the problem. The real danger I see is that OpenAI controls the whole system and for those of us outside it is just a black box. OpenAI trains the system with their own biases, and they set safety controls also with their own biases. OpenAI is only open in name. If not, please tell me, where can I download the source code and the whole dataset used to train the AI so that I can replicate it on my own hardware?
Years ago, everyone was embracing the 'cloud'. Now we know that there is no cloud; it's just someone else's computer. People are always chasing the newest shiny thing and surrendering their power without considering who controls it. This is how they get us, with shiny things.
