Okay, so let’s do a thought experiment, and take off all the safeguards.
Oops, you made:
a bomb design generator
an involuntary pornography generator
a CP generator
Saying “don’t misuse it” isn’t enough to stop people misusing it
And that’s just with chatgpt - AI isn’t just a question and answer machine - I suggest you read about “the paperclip maximiser” as a very good example of how misalignment of general purpose AI can go horribly wrong
I mean half that is deviant art and you can look up how to make explosives on youtube chem channels or in books. It’s not hard to rig up a custom detonator if you can get the energetics.
But the concern isn’t which was the first generative ai - their “idea” was that AIs - of all types, including generalised - should just be released as-is, with no further safeguards.
That doesn’t consider that OpenAI doesn’t only develop text generation AIs. Generalised AI can do horrifying things, even just by accidental misconfiguration (see the paperclip optimiser example).
But even a GANN like chatGPT can be coerced to generate non-text data with the right prompting.
Even in that example, one can’t just dig up those sorts of videos without, at minimum, leaving a trail. But an unresticted pretrained model can be distributed and run locally, and used without trace to generate any content whatsoever that it’s capable of generating.
And with a generalised AI, the only constraint to the prompt “kill everybody except me” becomes available compute.

The last 2 already exist it’s called stable diffusion. And for awhile Bing did it too.

What are we going to do with these Universities, just teaching anyone how to be a chemical engineer!!?
Jesus some of you guys completely miss the point.
ChatGPT was very far from the first publically available generative AI. It didn’t even do images at first.
Also, there are plenty of YouTube channels which show you how to make all sorts of extremely dangerous explosives already.
