> We've already lost control of it. We don't have any control.

I think it's important to be clear on what's being said here:

There's a very big difference between "we, the people, do not have control over what Silicon Valley businesses and billionaires are doing with AI" and "there are AIs out there that no human has any control over".

The former is current reality. The latter is sci-fi, and nothing yet has demonstrated that it is actually possible.

The former is also precisely what I would describe as "the misuse of AI".

You are right and I do not think anyone making AI has much control over it either because too many people who make it are addicted to the process in a very similar way in which drug users are addicted to drugs. And also, the prisoner's dilemma solution is almost forcing a lot of people to control it.

So I really do believe that NO human has control over it, really.
