>> Same reason road vehicles haven't been banned despite killing hundreds of thousands every single year for over a century

Whut? People and companies are always being sued and punished for injuring or killing others with cars or by any other means. Do you understand the difference between banning a tool and prosecuting those who cause damage by abusing some tool? BTW, LLMs don't understand that difference.

> Just like cars, AI will kill some of us, maybe thousands every year.

How merciful of you, it's so reassuring, AI will kill me only sometimes and only a limited number of times - sounds like a good deal in exchange for getting rid of "the absolutely hellish job of data entry".
