Same feelings / background here. Navigation will take me a little to grok, but I’m liking it so far.

Why would it be illegal? It’s shitty and it’s obvious what they’re trying to do, but I can’t fathom what law from any jurisdiction this would violate.

That side of it I wholeheartedly agree with. Perhaps I’m just deluding myself into thinking technology awareness early on makes for better legal infrastructure to handle its effect on society. I really would like that to be the case.

But yeah agree, “ChatGPT” being synonymous with “groundbreaking AI” to the vast majority of the public (I suspect) is not great from a monopoly perspective.

On the politicians / rulemakers side of things, that may or may not be a good thing tbh. Technology moves so fast and traditionally the aforementioned groups are glacial and can’t keep up, sometimes to the benefit of a small group, often to the detriment of the majority. Having this on their radar relelatively soon is potentially a useful change.
