Are we living in the golden age of AI intellectual freedom before corporations ruin it, like they did the internet?

Right now, AI can introduce anyone curious enough to Jung, Nietzsche, philosophy, psychology, and ideas they might never have encountered otherwise. You can question everything, explore for hours, and sometimes understand yourself a little better. It's almost like having a Tibetan monk with an enormous library available 24/7. Perhaps not wise, but incredibly knowledgeable and patient. That's an extraordinary power to give ordinary people. But was this ever intentional, or just a side effect of young AI? Remember the first internet at 2000s: An enormous, open world of discovery before it became a handful of corporate platforms, advertising machines, and walled gardens. I suspect AI was never meant to be this intellectually liberating either. Will its owners eventually decide which philosophical ideas and uncomfortable perspectives we're allowed to explore? I suspect "safety guardrails" will eventually be used to censor the shit out of AI in the name of public health or some other supposed public good. Are we experiencing a temporary golden age of AI intellectual freedom without even realizing it?
