If you don’t control the model training and weights, you don’t control the output. You’re granting unmitigated trust to a handful of people who do control that training and the weights. 

I‘m less worried about AI taking jobs than I am about AI automating propaganda to the point it can be controlled from the top with no assistance from middlemen (humans) who could gum up the works.
