These questions always boil down to me as fundamentally should we put harnesses on the potential of the universe to preserve human dignity? Which is tough to answer.

As someone with no dignity myself, I chose option 4

I keep seeing these discussions in relation to art, but not other topics, even though artists aren't arguably even the most directly affected.

Is it ethical to use a customer service AI chatbot based on ChatGPT/Bard/etc that replaced a bunch of human operators? What about using a law office that replaced most of their paralegals/legal assistants with AI? What about using a website that makes money by using AI (trained on potentially non-open source/copyrighted material) to give targeted ads to its users?

Is it specifically art that people have ethical concerns about or do some people think AI (or AI trained on non-open source material) in general is unethical?

The concerns are far broader than just art, and I have wondered for years about how cut-throat call centers will get when the technology allows it to shrink their industry back down. I just know theatre better than call centers and know I'm not teaching anything soon on how it's affecting call centers, thus the focus in this topic.

While my personal interest is not always in getting more and more powerful -- I don't like it in guns and cars -- I'm usually the minority in this point and don't really expect society to go backwards there. So, to that point...it becomes an interesting question of when we choose to use it and when we don't.
