I hope said intern finds a new job working for anti-AI causes.

Are there are a lot of anti-AI organizations at this point? PauseAI is the main one I'm familiar with:

One thing I suspect investors in e.g. OpenAI are failing to price in is the political and regulatory headwinds OpenAI will face if their fantastical revenue projections actually materialize. A world where OpenAI is making $100B in annual revenue will likely be a world where technological unemployment looms quite clearly. Polls already show strong support for regulating AI.

SAG-AFTRA are currently on strike over the issue of unauthorized voice cloning.

The AI advocates actively advertised AI as a tool for replacing creatives, including plagiarizing their work, and copying the appearance and voices of individuals. It's not really surprising that everyone in the creative industries is going to use what little power they have to avoid this doomsday scenario.
