[EDIT - Deleted poor humor re how we flatter our pets.]

I am not sure we are going to solve these problems in the time frames in which they will change again, or be moot.

We still haven't brought social media manipulation enabled by vast privacy violating surveillance to heel. It has been 20 years. What will the world look like in 20 more years?

If we can't outlaw scalable, damaging, conflicts of interest (the conflict, not the business), in the age of scaling, how are we going to stop people from finding models that will tell them nice things.

It will be the same privacy violating manipulators who supply sycophantic models. Surveillance + manipulation (ads, politics, ...) + AI + real time. Surveillance informed manipulation is the product/harm/service they are paid for.
