To be absolutely clear: this post is NOT pro-AI.

I'm saying that, for better or for worse, it exists, and people are using it, and will keep using it.

It's like cars. I can totally understand why people would be against cars as a whole.
But they're here right now, they're being used right now, and the risks exist right now.
So you need rules and laws to avoid problems, cuz even if course ideally one might say we get rid of the entire concept so you don't have the problem, that's not realistic.

Addendum 2: actually you know what, it's fine to hate AI, it's fine to hate cars, and want things gone, just make sure that you ALSO fight for actual legislation and safety regulation and what not else. That's my main point in the end; for better or worse they are here and have to be dealt with right now

And regulating is literally about avoiding what you don't like. I think the anti AI camp makes excellent points, just, they're entirely ignored when they're packaged in blind hate w/o direction

@volpeon exactly this!!

Politics sucks but the universe doesn't deal in absolutes, you need to somehow try and get everyone to agree enough to make a reasonable compromise in reality.

Because as much as you're entitled to not like some other people or their opinions, you still share the world with them, and they're entitled to human rights as much as you are.

I genuinely feel like this concept is lost on many people in today's age, where everyone has significantly narrowed their social scope.
