"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

AI products are rarely running locally. You're using the service of a company, who is not doing so for free. Even if you aren't paying, you're consuming the product. Like you said, they can regulate sales, like this.

I agree, it's practically unenforceable (on the consumer). However, there are many such laws. They're usually used to add on to a crime that is already committed. Rarely does someone get pulled over for not wearing a seatbelt, for example.

They do not have the right to create a law that infringes on your personal rights to access legal content.

It's not legal content if they make it illegal. For example, like you said, they can do porn bans, right? If they restrict accessing AI products, that's the same thing, right?
