So... You're likening AI to cars that need registration to drive on roads; in other words AI needs permission to train on the world's content. I like this analogy.

You had me stumped for a minute. But whenever a car drives from A to B, the "damage" is done. Fuel spent, occupants transported, pedestrians given way, road surfaces slightly worn. When AI does its training thing, no damage has occurred. There is only potential damage later if someone decides to misuse what AI has learnt. I wonder if this makes me an optimist. I want AI to know more, because it will be better for us humans when we use it responsibly.
