What if a company had human developers doing these same things? What would happen to those developers, those companies? Would anyone be so blasé? Just because it’s AI, it should be forgiven? How is that just?

And don’t forget, OpenAI is supposed to be a non-profit / public benefit corporation creating AI for the good of humanity. These incidents are clear evidence that they are being extremely reckless and are not living up to their supposed standards. What does it matter if they “mean no malice”? They are in a blind rush for profits and that has made them reckless and dangerous. They cannot be trusted.

The company should be shut down or fined into oblivion, as a warning to other companies to not pursue the same reckless path. If they get away with this, then that risks normalizing this behavior.
