Can't blame them for not opening up that can of PR worms. It could be like a version of Microsoft Tay that can form coherent paragraphs.
The bigger picture is this could be used for some very effective social media manipulation. A bit of clever infrastructure, maybe another generation of improvement and some understanding of human psychology (overton window etc) and managing 100,000 believable human accounts on something like reddit that subtly move debate becomes very doable.
Then again its going to happen anyway so better focus on the defensive techniques now...
IMHO the strongest argument against publishing it is because its built from Reddit it includes a lot of toxicity... VinayPrabhu originally made that argument here https://medium.com/@VinayPrabhu/reddit-a-one-word-reason-why...
