I mean the tool is also being made by people. And there is people who pointed out, that a tool that is great at spurting out plausible sounding things with no factual bearing could be abused badly for spreading misinformation. Now there have been ethic boards among the people who make these tools who have taken these concerns in and raised them in their companies, subsequently getting ousted for putting ethical concerns before short term profits.
The question is, how much is it just a tool and how much of it is intrinsically linked with the unethical greedy people behind pushing it onto the world?
E.g. a cybertruck is also just a car, and one could say the truck itself is not to blame. But it is the very embodiment of the problems of the people involved.
Corporate ethics only exist within the realm of theoretical, and training videos. Ethics will not be tolerated in actuality.
It is all intrinsically linked. But we need to see who the people behind it are or it's just a boogey-man.
The irony is that there are no profits. The companies selling generative AI are losing such vast sums of money it's difficult to wrap your head around.
What they're focused on isn't short-term profits, it's being the biggest, most dominant firm whenever AI does eventually become profitable, which might take decades.
