OpenAI's products are more likely to be used on the billions of emails sent daily from people who aren't in full command of the English language or are too lazy to look at man pages. Aka regular LLM usage for normal people.
Except that in this case they aren't possessing or in control of it. They're just writing checks to a third party to use what they possess and control.
I do think that once we have real AI the government should be all over that, but I don't see much need for them getting too worked up over a chatbot with a tendency to outright lie. I'd certainly hope that they don't use OpenAI's questionable product for anything important or anything that would have a meaningful impact on people's lives. I wish that for every company actually, but when it comes to where bombs drop or who drones kill its really important to keep humans involved and to make sure your information is accurate.
This seems like a non-falsifiable claim about the future, even if it can be argued for rationally with regard to the past.

I think we can evaluate how far the discourse is fallen by the reflex to attempt to hide questions that the hegemon's apologists don't like instead of answering them.
Perhaps this bullying attitude is one of the many reasons that most of the world does not feel that it's better off today with American hegemony.
