So, it's been decades since I was a teenager, and AI chatbots weren't even a thing. Hell, I didn't even have the internet as a teenager, so maybe I'm totally out of the loop, but someone riddle me this?..
They're age checking and gatekeeping social media, but not age checking and gatekeeping AI chatbots?
Do I have this about right, or am I missing something here?
Correct, because it's important that only large corps with access to resources to create widely used LLMs have unfettered access to the minds of our populace in a completely open way. Random humans being able toaccess and exchange information adhoc, independently without prior approval is of course incompatible with the first amendment.
I heard somewhere that zombies eat brains..
So, is Artificial Intelligence actually the zombies, coming after the children's minds? 🤔
nah, its the companies that are coming after the minds. llm are just their instrument for it.
