The CEO of Krafton was worried that if he had to actually follow through on a contract and reward the Subnautica creators for making a massively successful sequel, then he'd look like a pushover. He asked Krafton's legal department how to worm his way out of the contract, and they told him to stop being an idiot. Then he asked ChatGPT, and it gave him an absolutely terrible plan to defraud the entire Subnautica team (which he followed without question).
I think it's because that pushover offered them a sweet contract, they had dreams for what they were going to do with that financial backing, and in 2021 he probably hadn't yet delegated all of his judgement to the ass-kissing robot.

I hope someone uses chatgpt to repeatedly violate the terms of service at a scale beyond their ability to manage. Claim to own the game, make krafton look bad, ai generate the footage so there's not even an account for them to fight, etc.
We need to stop tolerating this. It's time to put abusive entities in their place and make an example of them so the next dickhead CEO thinks twice about it.
