I agree with this too and I find this article extremely depressing.

The AI "revolution" as described here is the wholesale outsourcing of vast swaths of thinking and decision-making to a single entity. A project coded with Claude is a project coded by Anthropic. A business whose decisions are made with ChatGPT is a business run by OpenAI.

Is that what these people really want? To become a conduit through which two or three companies get to exert control over everything in the world?
