I'm not anti-AI, but I see the where it is heading

* Mass surveillance which suppress the freedom of speech. ex: Palantir

* Dumbing down people so they cannot think for themselves, so the narrator is in control.

* Dropping bombs on innocent so someone can loot resources.

* Huge environmental degradation due to data centers ex: ground water pollution in Texas, desertification, waste dump due to rare earth metal extraction etc. (Earth is already is in brink of a collapse)

All of the above sacrifices just for the benefit of few rich billionaires not for the community. At this point I do not see the benefits outweight drawbacks, if it is to go on, it should be highly regulated, more than healthcare regulations. And also should be community owned not privatized.
