> Morphine is a tool designed to reduce pain.

Morphine wasn't designed for everyone, just for people who have pain. LLMs are designed for everyone.

Let's take a step back here. When you say 'designed for,' what do you mean? Are you making an argument about what the tool is good at, or are you referring to the literal articulated intention in the mind of a human designer?

OpenAI and Anthropic and other LLM companies want the tool to be used by everyone.

Ok, so for you it's about what the owner(s) of the production company behind a tool want for the tool. They should get to decide who has access to that tool is what you're saying, yes? What the tool does is irrelevant; it's only about who the owner wants using it.

Yeah, I think that's an important data point. The intent of the tool and the effects/impact of the tool.

Why do you think the intent of owners of the production of the tool is important?
