Can someone tell me how giving government officials the right to control how AI models are trained would produce less political LLMs? What wouldn't they skew toward supporting the current regime whatever it may be? And why would it not be protected by 1a?
One argument might be that it's not really a human's speech... but IMO that's a weak argument since the amendment is held to cover other forms of expression. Also it seems like a foot in the door towards "the mastermind of the unethical plan was a computer, therefore none of us are to blame for all the profit we made" excuses.
How about this for an analogy: Someone makes a machine that throws together scrabble tiles to make words, then chooses to take pictures of the results and sell them as art. The copyrightability may be suspect, but if a politician came in and demanded that certain words no longer be generated, that would still be a first amendment violation.
