I don't really agree that this is the biggest issue, for me the biggest issue is power consumption.

Ollama and stable diffusion are free open source software. Nobody is forcing anybody to use chatGPT
Ollama is FOSS, SD has a proproprietary but permissive, source-available license, but it is not what most people would associate with "open-source"

Why is this message not being drilled into the heads of everyone. Sam Altman go to prison or publish your stolen weights.
Reading the other comments, it seems there are more than one problem with AI. Probably even some perks as well.
Shucks, another one or these complex issues huh. Weird how everything you learn something about turns out to have these nuances to them.
most of the replies can be summarized as "the biggest problem with AI is that we live under capitalism"

No brian eno, there are many open llm already. The problem is people like you who have accumulated too much and now control all the markets/platforms/medias.
Totally right that there are already very impressive open source AI projects.
But Eno doesn't control diddly, and it's odd that you think he does. And I assume he is decently well off, but I doubt he is super rich by most people's standards.

wrong. it's that it's not intelligent. if it's not intelligent, nothing it says is of value. and it has no thoughts, feelings or intent. therefore it can't be artistic. nothing it "makes" is of value either.
AI will become one of the most important discoveries humankind has ever invented. Apply it to healthcare, science, finances, and the world will become a better place, especially in healthcare. Hey artist, writers, you cannot stop intellectual evolution. AI is here to stay. All we need is a proven way to differentiate the real art from AI art. An invisible watermark that can be scanned to see its true "raison d'etre". Sorry for going off topic but I agree that AI should be more open to verification for using copyrighted material. Don't expect compensation though.
Apply it to healthcare, science, finances, and the world will become a better place, especially in healthcare.
That's all kind of moot if we continue down the capitalist hellscape express. What good is an AI that can diagnose cancer if most people can't afford access? What good is AI writing novels if our homes are destroyed by climate change induced disasters?
Those problems are mostly political, and AI isn't going to fix them. The people that probably could be replaced with AI, the shitty "leaders" and such, are not going to voluntarily step down.
None of it is currently useful to those right now
