I think the point the above poster is trying to make is that "the community" could very well be a couple of thousand GPT states. We will see more of this in the future, not less.
What scares me a little is that the venture capital behind both ChatGPT and similar products is going to want a return on their investment, and morally questionable "content" is the obvious low hanging fruit here. Any betterment of mankind type of outcome is much further in the future. A coming recession would make this inevitable as early capital dries up first.
The real twist of this story would be if GPT-style automatons are used on both sides of the consumer divide. It's easy to imagine building more sophisticated ad watchers, thereby creating a closed loop of advertisements slowly sucking the economic value out of the system.
