Not with the monied interests in charge of its operation. They want people to depend upon the big AIs for answers to everything so they can subtly control the populace’s “thinking” and control them like the sheep most of them are.

You’re being downvoted, but you’re absolutely right. The entire point of the big commercial LLMs is to get ingrained into society and subtly manipulate people into things. That’s their business model.
