There is a burgeoning anti-AI movement. We've regulated the heck out of technologies like nuclear power in the past. I don't see why people are so fatalistic about the supposed inevitability of AI development. It seems like a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Yeah, you should definitely do whatever you think is best, I just am extremely skeptical that anyone can stop this train. At best we might be able to slow it down a tiny bit, or push on it around the edges, but we've opened Pandora's box, and now we're going to all find out what's inside. That's my view, I understand why people hate it and don't want it to be true. I don't really want it to be true, I just don't see much alternative.
