A hypothetical: Imagine I held a magic wand that could make AI systems improve in all the following ways:

- More environmentally friendly
- Less capturable by a few large corporations
- Less built on "plagiarism machine" foundations
- More reasonable and capable of making judgements which are explainable, accountable, and more accurate
- More participatory and open

However, we are still left in our present socioeconomic system.

Should I wave the magic wand and improve things, or does improving AI in these ways still make the world worse?
