I don't think that analogy really works.

We are talking about the behaviour of a de facto oligopolist, not restaurants of which there are thousands in any major metro area.

In the long-term I think this is going to be far less of an issue. Who cares if a US-built AI has a (particular kind of) US bias if there are dozens of other AIs available, of similar capability, several of which come from different countries and so likely have a different country-bias instead.

Also, OpenAI's marketing/PR – and even actual product behaviour – makes a big deal out of being "less biased", "ethical", "non-discriminatory" – so it makes sense to hold those claims up to critical scrutiny – relatively few restaurants make those kinds of things part of their branding.




I just don't see the claims as related. Even if a restaurant did make those claims I'd see that as a claim about how they treated their customers, not what kind of food they'd serve up.
