AI feels for me like SuperSoakers. SuperSoakers were the coolest thing ever.
They had so much power you could have a water fight across the whole yard with your friends, just a few minor rules and a pinch of common sense.
Aim centre mass, never for the head or balls, keep your distance, and the goal is having fun, not making war.
But some idiots had to aim for the eyes or balls, and nobody wanted a new pirate age, so SuperSoakers were nerfed in the one thing they were good at. Shooting water at impressive distances with impressive speed.
We have a collective track record of fucking things up for everyone else that spans generations. Fire, Engines, Nuclear etc.
The important question is, what makes you think we are not going to fuck this up too in a way everyone has to suffer from the consequences.
And for what, because a few idiots with deep pockets have ai psychosis?
