I don't think this thing is any more evil than a hammer. It's a tool. If it's not useful to you, don't use it. If it's not useful to anyone, it will quickly cease to exist. I don't think it's going to do anything to erode the concept of morality. I don't have to trust it with my money any more I would trust anyone else about my money.

This kind of take, which is common with AI, always assumes this odd state of blind trust. As if I can't read and reason about the output like I would anything (or anyone) else's output. Are there people I trust more than AI? of course. Do I trust AI more than some people? also true. Would I blindly trust a person or AI without doing some of my own reasoning at some point in the process? no.
