Should we be boycotting ChatGPT? – podcast
Summary
Historian Rutger Bregman argues that consumers should boycott ChatGPT because OpenAI has partnered with the Pentagon, which he claims integrates the chatbot into authoritarian infrastructure. The QuitGPT group is demanding that OpenAI stop donations to Trump and refuse to use AI for mass surveillance or lethal autonomous weapons (weapons that can select and attack targets without human control).
