Meta recently launched its latest AI chatbot called Llama 3, which CEO Mark Zuckerberg touts as the "most intelligent AI assistant" currently available for public use. While some express fears that advanced AI could threaten human jobs or even existence, Zuckerberg dismisses such concerns about Meta's current AI capabilities as premature. However, the potential future development of multimodal AI that can generate various media like text, images, and videos may prompt Meta to restrict open access over misinformation worries. This illustrates the complex balance between developing beneficial AI companions and mitigating potential risks - a balance that companies like Meta must carefully navigate amid naysayers warning of an AI existential threat to humanity.

Mhmm. So the access will be paywalled or quote-only, so they can keep the tools to generate misinformation and manipulate people only for themselfs and people they agree with.

I'd say that's even worse.
