Focusing on human responsibility for using a tool sounds like a good way to proceed in my opinion.
Absolutely! If AI hurts humans then the AI company CEOs should be put in jail (in fact I believe they should be in jail right now for developing AI at all).
When a bridge collapses, you don’t analyze whether the bridge was ethical or sentient or why it decided to collapse. You ask, who is the person who built this bridge to be so flimsy?
Right, when a bridge collapses, we analysis the physics of it so the next bridge we build won't collapse. From my perspective analysis why an AI "went rogue" is the same process. The difficulty is when talking about AI we can't help but use some anthropomorphizing languages. If anything, talking about when an AI "thought" is a lot less verbose than talking about how the transformer's weights multiplies together and how the random sampling process produced a sequence of tokens that resembles natural language. But ultimately, it's not that far from analyzing a bridge collapse. We need to understand why an AI "went rogue" to stop the next AI from going rogue (or, in my opinion, just stop building the next AI altogether).
This machine-god narrative is, in my opinion, meant to distract us from these.
I don't see why personally. AI is dangerous enough even if it doesn't become "machine-god". Absolutely we shouldn't use AI to develop autonomous weapons. If AI can indeed somehow become "machine-god", then oh my god that's a million times worse and we should stop immediately.
