> I’m personally not a fan of OpenAI always referring to their model as “providing intelligence as a utility.” Sounds very condescending, are you saying this isn’t something we already have?

Your body also generates electricity and natural gas. Do you also get upset when energy companies claim to provide these services as a utility?

Is the electricity or natural gas that your body produces a defining feature of humanity?

Does AI actually provide intelligence?

Intelligence can only be human? Is that your argument?

"Humans also produce farts" is a new low. Can the AI people be interned or moved to some seasteading libertarian hellhole so the rest of us can live a normal life?

I think we’ll need certified human/no-ai communities at some point in the near future.

I'm in, where do we start?

If I never have to hear anything about AI ever again it will be too soon

My brother is actually moving to one (although that's not the core focus of the community, but they are extremely sceptical of AI there).

I suspect in a few years it's going to be strange to talk to him and other people there. It's already hard to explain to people that "Yeah, you can have a phone call and it can sound like your dad but it might just be a chat bot."
