1970s personal computers were "controlled" by the likes of Richard Stallman. 2020s AI systems are controlled by the likes of Sam Altman.

See the difference?

This is intentionally a wild and crude oversimplification, but I hope to raise at least one point against the notion that AI will be similarly democratized.

Who are you talking about? Richard Stallman is all about allowing anybody to freely run their own software on their own hardware.
