The AI topic is botted massively, almost as much as political topics.
I don't know who would benefit from a large portion of the Western youth being made to be disinterested in this emerging technology, but it isn't the Western economies.
Copyright companies and big AI. Google stands to profit massively if they are the only ones with the budget for a "legal" LLM. In any other context, strengthening copyright laws would be met with riots but they have managed to convince a good portion of the population that it's somehow in their best interest in the space of a year.
That or China (probably both)
Yeah, whatever it is, it isn't just a bunch of suddenly concerned citizens who discovered their love of copyright laws.
