GPT-4o: While it's true that some AI makers may focus more on improving models than on ethical considerations, there are ways to encourage greater adoption of the recommendations in the paper.
Stronger regulations, market pressure, internal culture shifts, financial incentives, transparency mechanisms, and collaborative efforts can make the ethical alignment of AI systems more compelling.

Resignation of Miles Brundage: Market-driven approach may be at odds with AI safety, especially when competing in a high-stakes environment where cutting corners could have devastating implications.
OpenAI's Miles Brundage himself noted that corner-cutting on safety is a risk when there is a zero-sum race mentality between competing AI companies.

GPT-4o about AI & Investing: The estimates for value creation might not fully consider challenges like data privacy laws, AI ethics, and consumer resistance to AI-driven marketing.
Over-reliance on AI without human oversight could lead to poor decision-making, especially in fields that require ethical judgment or understanding of non-quantifiable factors.

GPT-4o: While Professor Lee highlighted that generative AI can boost productivity, (...) I think this optimism might be somewhat overstated or overly generalized. He framed AI as a tool...
...that could augment human creativity, improve output, but didn't fully explore the downsides, e.g. in industries where the intro of AI could lead to oversaturation of content or diminishing returns.

Claude about the NYT article "Former OpenAI Researcher Says the Company Broke Copyright Law": It may not serve the reader's need to understand the actual technical and legal realities of the situation
The article appears to be making a significant effort to appear balanced, potentially at the expense of important technical and legal context

How the generative AI tool Perplexity could face legal trouble for copyright infringement due to its use of "RAG" (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).
Perplexity's use of RAG exposes it to significant legal risks, and recent court rulings suggest that defenses like "fair use" may not hold up in these cases.

Overall, the evidence presented appears to be robust, combining technical claims, specific examples of copyright infringement, economic analysis, and admissions from Perplexity’s own executives.
Perplexity should have prioritized securing licenses, building a more transparent and cooperative business model, and addressing the risks of false attribution.

Alcon claims that Tesla, Elon Musk, and Warner Bros. used an AI-generated image that mimicked a still image from the iconic visual sequence in the film Blade Runner 2049.
The combination of the infringing AI-generated image, clear refusal of permission, Musk’s explicit references, and the potential financial harm creates a strong factual foundation.

GPT-4o: Based on these factors, I would estimate the likelihood that we are dealing with a bubble in the generative AI space at 75%.
This is a high likelihood, reflecting the significant risks and red flags. However, I wouldn’t say it's certain, because the technology does have real, transformative potential.

The article "How to Say No to Our AI Overlords" discusses the increasing prevalence of AI technologies from major companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Apple in everyday consumer products.
Even when users opt out of direct data collection, AI companies can still potentially access user or usage-related data through various indirect and creative means.

GPT-4o: In today’s digital landscape, the temptation for companies to push boundaries and only comply with legal frameworks after achieving market success is significant.
However, the consequences of allowing this approach can erode the rule of law, harm competition, and encourage unethical business models, particularly in the context of AI.
