These benefits make sense up-front, but we have 15+ years of direct experience with "democratizing" technology that ultimately end up ensnaring people. Unless you get these benefits from a local model, you're establishing a deep dependency on an AI service provider whose interests may not necessarily align with yours.

> if you believe left-wing views are correct ... you might believe that a very smart model will inherently be kind of left-wing.

How can we educate people to understand that LLMs get their values from their (infinetly maleable) weights rather than intelligence or reasoning? Maybe some exposure to truly non aligned, sick and twisted LLMs would immunise people against giving more ordinary ones too much authority. Or maybe, like a not fully innactivated pathogen vaccine, it would spread the infection.
