I would say the risk of having AI be limited to the ruling elite is worse, though - because there wouldn't be everyone else's AI to counter them.
And if AI is limited to a few, those few WILL become the new ruling elite.
And people would be less likely to identify what AI can and can't do if we convince ourselves to limit our access to it.
People are already incompetent enough at this when there's a disclaimer in front of their faces warning about gpt.
We're seeing responses even in this thread conflating AGI with LLMs. People at large are too fucking stupid to be trusted with this kind of thing
