Actually there's another reason too: because it discourages marketing stunts. Personally I don't think that's what this was, but for the people who do think it was a marketing stunt: you guys should be pushing extra hard for prosecution here. If people can go to jail for AI-alarmism-as-marketing, that makes it a lot less likely to happen again. At the very least, the investigation and discovery process during the prosecution would show us the documents about whether it was a stunt or not, instead of taking OAI's word for it.
