I'm as awed as the next guy about the emerging ability to actually hold passable conversations with computers, but having serious concerns about the social contracts being violated in the name of research is anti-AI only in the same way that criticizing the leadership of a country is being anti-that-country.
OpenAI's case is especially egregious, with the entire starting as 'open' and reaping the benefits, then doing its best in every way to shut the door after itself by scaring people over AI apocalypses. If your argument is seriously that it is necessary to shamelessly steal and lie to do new things, I question your ethical standards, especially in the face of all the openly developed models out there.
