The exact same thing is said for every new form of tech. All tech has its good parts and bad parts. It was true of the black and white television, it was true of the Nintendo, it was true of the cell phone and it will be true if this technology as well.

You either accept that change happens and use your life experience to help shape it in a positive direction or, well… I dunno. Become a old curmudgeon and watch the world blow by you.

We don't allow people to use mustard gas willy nilly as their technology of choice. But sure, your "there's good and bad to everything!!! change is inevitable!!" platitudes are useful too.

And your tech examples don't offload actual process of thinking to others the way AI does. The comparisons are surface level and ignore what I actually said.

Except you didn't offer any evidence for your position, provide any references, or provide any sort of logical argument. You offer your own platitude and then condemn other commenters for doing so, hypocrisy.
