> Being a cynic, I think that OpenAI, Google (and the US government?) have done a deal. They will retain control of the AI platforms, thus becoming a duopoly.

Lol people say these things and don't realize that Amazon and Apple and Nvidia and the other big companies also have their own AI in the works, as well as, y'know, countries outside the US

The genie is out of the bottle, there's zero chance just two or three companies will get to keep it. Every billionaire worth their salt is focusing heavily on the AI field right now

Agreed .. but these big firms will all do their darndest to 'tax' the population's use of AI.

What good is the current AI? For private knowledge of curious citizens and education. Well the government owns education, basically, and the media will control the informing of citizens. I see this as an opportunity to bottleneck all of our new knowledge generation moreso than already exists with the university specialization system. We will all be informed by a centralized monopoly of knowledge owners. This will lead to a monopoly on our past, present and future. There may be less wars except between west and east…the final conflict. If we can all live globally in peace, then our survival will depend on this centralized knowledge center.
