Why are you assuming these are real people and not NPCs?
The amount of money flowing around AI is staggering. To believe that the AI companies aren't flooding all the social media zones with propaganda is disingenuous.
Touché
You don't use "believe" with "disingenuous": it literally makes zero sense.
If people honestly believe that, they may be naive. Or they can be "disingenuous" if they're not being sincere. But if you just say what you believe, you're sincere (and maybe naive), and hence cannot possibly be disingenuous.
"Naive" is certainly a better choice.

I'm not even a fan of OpenAI generally speaking, but, this is just silly cancelling them for no reason. If not them, some other lab would have done it. Or worse, DoW would've forced them to.
"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. 'That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3' can be shortened to '1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
OpenAI - since the beginning has been anything but open. If you spoke anything ill about OpenAI here until yesterday, you would be downvoted into oblivion because, let's face it, Sam has always been the poster child of this community.
So, basically, even after them publicly announcing they were evaluating licensing models where they wanted to take a % of your business for using their models [1], there was still 0 outrage, and anyone who pointed that out, always got shot back with "OpenAI CAN DO NO WRONG" in the comments always.
He makes one decision you all don't agree with and now it's cancel culture time?
And somehow, Anthropic is the hero in all this? Make no mistake - all the model providers are building detailed user models. Every bit of information you provide to it is of course being used to for detailed user targeting. This is no different than the "Apple GOOD, Google BAD!" tropes. There are no heroes in for-profit corporations. Everyone is operating a for-profit business model and optimizing for the same profits.
Stop with the NPC behavior. We are better than this.
