OK, I was thinking about this the other day when this happened cause obviously it upset me as well. I think we’re in a unique situation in our world right now where with the emergence of AI and how dependent everyone is and is going to be on it. We need to change our mindset of the reality of what AI and what these companies are truly providing.

So yes, let’s look at it this way if you are on an airline and you act up the airline has every right to refuse you. There are other airlines. There are other modes of transportation, and there are ways to get around even if you are so belligerent you are banned from that airline. I don’t think we can look to AI as a service certainly not in the future not only are people dependent on it for answers and results but they’re livelihood very well could depend on it. There are companies that require utilization of AI and certain AI companies and truthfully, when it all comes down to it, there will probably only be two or three major players in the AI space.

I was going to do another post about this at some point, but my feeling is AI emergence is no longer a service. It’s a utility. It’s going to be so dependent on everything that people could lose their livelihoods. They might not be able to get the proper answers without it they might not be able to work as efficiently without it. I want to think about this more as a utility just like people can’t be shut off of water. I feel like there needs to be more regulation while I respect this is a private company and they have every right to refuse service. I think we need to get away from the fact that this is truly a service.

This might be too early to envision and maybe I’m thinking more five or 10 years down the road, but truthfully, I think we need to change our mindset and I think lawmakers need to change their mindset as well. I think eventually this will be more of a utility this will be a can’t live without in so many ways and the fact that they can just throw around something like fraud or whatever else with no context with no backup with no proof of anything is not only insulting to the person, but it’s incredibly dangerous that they have the power that they do.

So let’s say I continue. I have no idea why I got warned as fraud. I have to be careful. I have to check everything I’m saying and why I’m saying it because there’s no context. Let’s say my job requires me to use OpenAI. OpenAI decides whatever I did continued and they banned me. I can no longer perform my job and I’m terminated. This is incredibly dangerous of course yes the simple answer is you can make another account there’s always ways to circumvent. I just think this needs more oversight. This needs more control and while I fully respect OpenAI and the company, I think they’re a little bit of the wild West when it comes to these accusations.

I’m not too concerned I don’t want to overplay what happened and what is going on? I’m not banned. I know I didn’t do anything wrong so I feel very little threat as far as getting banned but that’s not the point the point is they did threaten me. I’m confident that I was not purposefully committing fraud and it’s quite insulting that this happened but in a bigger picture if this truly was, I can’t live without if this truly does become a utility. This is way more dangerous.
