Hmm interesting idea. I’m pretty confident there is generalization and learning that occurs during RL that does make the model smarter. So I think the distinction doesn’t fully hold up.

What distinction are you drawing?
More seriously, it seems like you have an uncommon view about good ways for people to relate to each other. You may recall that humans evolved to live in large, cooperative groups :)
This is a moral stance that not everyone agrees with.

We can barely inspect much of it, let alone fully understand it.
I know people in my life who have discomfort about their jobs at Meta because of how other people view the company. One of them is planning to leave in the next year or so.
The impact may be hard to measure or rather diffuse, but in my experience, it is real.
Hell, most people barely have a rough idea of what they are trying to say when they sit down to write, and they have all of the context.
Writing and coding do have many similarities, at a high level. But the things that make AI good at coding don’t really apply to writing. The analogy doesn’t work well here.
A certain configuration of weights, created in training, could be a system that can express something like emotion. The emotion then is experienced when certain types of activations occur after training.
Not a bad idea though.
I have become increasingly selective with the animal product grocery items I buy. It’s expensive, but over time I think the price should go down as more people care about this.
Maybe try differentiating a bit? You could see if there certain scenarios that leave room for a better outcome for both you and a less intelligent person. You might even learn something interesting.
Right now, I’d say you are painting with an overly broad brush.
P.S. Have you done any soul searching to see if this is largely a comforting thought that helps assuage the frustrations of dealing with the BS of life? If you are open to the idea, might be valuable.
I accept that may be the only meaningful step I personally could take. It’s a large one though…
I do agree with the sibling comment that one terrible thing doesn’t justify another.
