Sure, but I'm talking about the good:bad ratio of some creations. I really have strong hope for AI, and that we won't regard it in retrospect like the multi-stage thermonuclear device, the landmine or tetraethyl lead additives.

Not to dismiss any of the negative aspects of "AI", but it seems utterly foolish to compare it to those 3 things.

[cornholio]

There is no comparison, explicit or implied. Just an enumeration to illustrate that some technologies are inherently likely to be harmful rather than beneficial, not everything is a question of the agency of the user.

I hope you're right. I'm less optimistic.
