    Who are the various "they"s in that sentence?

    OpenAI wants people to rely on their products, sure. But, they’re not in a position to “deskill” people. In the grand scheme of things they’re just a small vendor. A random software company in Montana isn’t going to deliberately deskill their employees to improve OpenAI’s bottom line.

      Large tech are all in cahoots here, their motivation aligns

      Ms, OpenAI, google, apple. All need line to keep going up by making people increasingly reliant on their live services

      I’m not necessarily saying that deskilling is the goal, but it certainly helps them.

        They each have their own services and they’re competing against each-other to be the best / only contender. The goal is to come up with a product that makes them money. They don’t care if it’s used by unskilled or highly skilled people. And, they’re certainly not out there trying to work together to remove people’s skills.
