For what it’s worth, “race to the bottom” typically refers to a scenario that we absolutely do not want as a consumer. We do want a highly competitive market that drives prices down, but “race to the bottom” specifically refers to a scenario where firms compete by minimizing quality, regulatory oversight, consumer/labor/environmental protection, etc.

Well aside from quality it kind of seems like those other things are getting skirted by. We are very much in a phase of let's see if this is possible and exploit it rather than should we actually be doing this
And I'm saying this as somebody that's made millions selling AI software in the last few years...
