Problem: Under capitalism, some workers' livelihoods depend on profiting from their creative output.
Correct response: Therefore, we need to ensure people don't need to work to get their basic needs met.
Incorrect response: Therefore, we need to pressure the state to enforce a dystopian IP regime.

Engagement KPIs have been responsible for infinite scroll UI traps, RecSys radicalization spirals, public shame brigades, and basically every modern ailment novel to the past decade. At some point, you have to recognize that the problem isn't any one technology, it's the metric.
The company essentially turned a dial that made ChatGPT more appealing and made people use it more, but sent some of them into delusional spirals.
OpenAI has since made the chatbot safer, but that comes with a tradeoff: less usage.
