Agh, I've thought this through and you're completely right. It's an interesting conundrum. Certainly releasing powerful tools into the wild runs a high risk of swaying public opinion in a negative direction. Given this I honestly wonder why Google continues to invest so much in AI at all. I imagine having automatically generated video ads and stuff would be cool, but would hardly move the needle on the core business enough to justify the massive investment they've made into AI. Not that I'm complaining about it though... Google's tech advances always seem to diffuse (heh) into the open source world, so at least we have that to look forward to.
