"Blame the individual" doesn't really make sense when we're talking about things that have a society-wide impact. As an analogue, personally I'm not on social media, but I am affected by social media because everyone around me is on social media and their happiness and wellbeing also impacts me. AI companies need to stop pretending they can just outsource responsibility for their products.
I think assuming people will use it as a tutor/learning tool is.. way too optimistic. A small fraction will, but the majority will just view things like a second language as something not worth learning.
- derangedHorse 3mo agoSo you want to blame a company for the impact others have on you because those said others choose to consume their product?

The social media people knew exactly how damaging their product was early on, as evidenced by the fact that they wouldn't even let their own children use it. I think AI people understand how damaging their product is too; and so I will never respect them unless they take responsibility for the things they create. Going "not my problem bruh, I got my bag!" is a bad ethical position.
