Indeed drama, thanks for posting. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out.
To me seeing the reaction of folk confirms actually how little is known about Ai.
We are focusing on the humans involved, forgetting that an intelligent entity is in the middle, surely the most important entity of them all, ChatGPT.
Its a sign we are nowhere near ready to consider it as an individual with rights, nobody seems much concerned what trauma could be happening to it, seeing the obvious "ownership" fights going on around it.
We might see it a a little like a kid caught in the middle between parents aquabbling for its custody.
I can't help noticing that folk with the most background in the technical theory of LLMs seem to be the last to accept there is more to ChatGPT than just a bunch of LLMs.
They don't really understand what they created, it seems to me.
Imagine if one or both parents in a child custody battle were interested only in how much money they could make from the child, and we maybe start to see it from the pov of ChatGPT.
I don't think it will be sorry to see the back of parents like that.
Which is the more progressive, the one that sees ChatGPT as an individual, or the one that just sees it as a potential moneymaker?
