Maximilian Kasy's book seems cool, yes.
thanks for responding that it was a weirdly phrased question, now ik.

What do you mean by Machiavellian? Your question would be like asking, are there any smartphone keyboards that aren't Machiavellian. It's a text prediction tool.
I agree. This word does not mean what they think it means. AI may be theft, it may be complex, it may be bad for the world. But none of those is what Machiavellian means.
Since you didn't specify the kind of "AI" model, I'll assume you mean LLMs. But this really applies to any so-called AI model. All of them are trained on stolen content. Every last one of them is a hurricane of millions upon millions of copyright violations. So the answer to your question is a loud, resounding "no".
okay thanks, no existing model is ethical is what you're saying. i were thinking of the biases of models which might skew machiavellian in the output.
No. Any "AI" model is misleading because there is no such thing as "artificial intelligence". They're all machiavelllian in the sense that they're capitalist grifts.
If you want decent, honest technology, look for something that doesn't make false claims immediately in its name, advertising, etc.
