Pro-establishment narrative

Establishment-critical narrative

Altman has just publicly acknowledged what many feared was coming. Not only is AI making people less intelligent and thus reliant upon his products, but his solution will be to keep it that way and profit from it. From its use in warfare to its debilitating economic and social impacts, AI, and the companies that develop it, is only hurting humanity at this point.
