I didn't argue "must be regulated". I'm arguing AI is powerful (at achieving things, and hence has dual-use dangers). Many people won't even admit that, which is the part that really annoys me: they don't even want to have a conversation about risks because somehow AI is not actually a powerful general-purpose tool. Of course everything you said is true, though many of those things aren't very powerful. But the internet and social media and smartphones certainly have been of great utility for terrorism and child exploitation (and probably also causing many would-be-terrorists to get picked up).
