You're right, this isn't a view that is likely to be shared by the general public.

However, I don't think the general public's view of OpenAI is much better at this point, given that their exposure is Hinton on 60 Minutes claiming that AI is going to imminently end civilization, creatives arguing that OpenAI has stolen their work, and students using their products to cheat.

The only people that I do know who have historically had a positive view of OpenAI has been people working in tech. And Sam seems to be doing everything he can to destroy that goodwill.

Among the people I've discussed recent AI with that aren't in tech, almost everyone is very uneasy about it. Some of them use it, and all of them recognize it as potentially useful, but almost everyone is more concerned than excited. Seems like surveys back my personal experience:

"More concerned than excited" went from 37% in 2021 to 52% in 2023, "more excited than concerned went from 18% to 10%.
