You call it "concern trolling", I call it responsible research. It's not "social justice" to be concerned about the ability of any entity to make propaganda videos for virtually free. "Ok Google, produce a CDC-type public information video about how vaccines cause autism and disability".

Not that I would have a complaint if social justice was the sole thing keeping it from being released. Facebook managed to cause genocides by being careless.

That would make sense if Google were somehow in a deserved position of authority to decide who is allowed access and what it's used for, rather than an advertising company with a heavily skewed bias that doesn't necessarily take the public good into account.

I agree with you and was saddened to see such a comment rise to the top.

I don't hold that GPs opinion is wrong, in fact I have no firm views yet on the AI and would generally lean towards stuff being made available even when harmful.

But the idea that people in the field of AI Ethics are all some woke SJW cabal designed to keep Google powerful is for the birds. Like all industry adjacent fields I'm sure there's some corporate capture of research in the field, but maybe, engaging with things in good faith, there are ethical questions about a powerful new technology that can replicate biases in its training data at unprecedented speed and quality?
