The invention of electricity also did a tremendous amount of harm. Should we have also just tried to put it back in its box?

    Electricity allows us to perform otherwise impossible logistics, medical care, heating, countless beneficial technologies, and longer operation hours in industry.

    Without AI... what? More jobs, cheaper utilities, lower polution? In the future it might be able to lie to you sightly more efficiently while funneling control of industry into the hands of a dozen wealthy elites.

    None of that was true when it was first invented, it killed many people caused house fires etc.

    We don't know yet all the uses of AI, but we're going to find out despite how many people on the fediverse crash out at the mention of AI
