      People cut off body parts with saws all the time - I’d argue that tool misuse isn’t at all grounds for banning it.

      There are plenty of completely valid reasons to hate AI. Stupid people using it poorly just isn’t really one of them 🤷‍♂️

        Sure, but if I built a 14 inch demo saw with no guard and got the government to give me permission to give it to kindergartners and then got everyone’s boss to REQUIRE theie workers to use it for everything from slicing sandwiches to open heart surgery, I think you might agree that it’s a problem.

        Oh yeah, also it takes like 20% of the worlds energy to run these saws, and I got the biggest manufacturer of knives and regular saws to just stop selling everything but my 14 inch demolition saw.

          Yeah, you listed lots of the valid reasons that I was talking about. There’s no need to dilute your argument with idiots like this

        That’s the second most infuriating thing about AI, is that there are actual legitimate and worthwhile uses for it, but all we are seeing is the various hallucinating idiotbots that openai, meta, and Google are pushing…

          Nah, the second most infuriating thing about AI is people who always rush to blame the users when the multibillion-dollar ‘tool’ has some otherwise indefensible failure - like deleting a users entire hard drive contents completely unprompted.
