Somebody has bought or rented the computer that this AI runs on, somebody has launched it as a piece of code or an API call.

This somebody is using his right to free speech, AI is just a tool.

Can you clarify, is your "somebody" a person or a company?

What is the explicit difference between 1 person and 10 persons when it comes to their rights?

Explicit, I want to know what rights we lose as soon as "I" transforms into "we".

None.

In this case a company isn't "we". It is usually the owner.

Awesome, I'm glad that rights do not change between 1 to 1 billion, let's not assert that these rights disappear in conditions that make no difference in quality.

This “somebody” is part of the wealthy ruling class who makes the laws through billions of dollars spent on bribes(“lobbying”) and propaganda.

How a corporation can have an opinion?

I can give you that an AI trained to make a mixin of a lot of input texts and output a mashup of those texts, the output might not be the same of their creators. That said, it's known that AI creators/trainers can make their AI lean towards certain "opinions", as we saw recently with the case of Gemini and their understanding of diversity (https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/21/24079371/google-ai-gemini...).

Corporations can't do that. Corporations don't ask for everybody's in the corporation opinion and then do an aggregate with all of them to write a press release. They have some people choosing what to say in the press release that goes in the interest of the corporation.

Who are these people? Are they people or something that are not people?
