AI, Corporate Responsibility & Democratic Legitimacy: Extended Q&A
summary
Argues that current generative systems are powerful compressors of human cultural data not autonomous minds, relying on copy-paste at scale from human-created corpora, corporate incentives and small per-user memories, with guardrails implemented as weighted personas over a shared foundation model; gives Grok as an example of shifting sampling that produced extremist outputs; flags sparse evidence about chatbot harm (possible vulnerabilities around ~1% with schizophrenialike traits); pushes for transparency, accountability and EU tools like the Digital Markets Act plus inspector-accessible tests and developer-readable code.
