I don’t want to pick on anybody and don’t want to direct an angry crowd at anybody but this is a good example of the kind of thinking that is common in tech: https://pjonori.blog/posts/ai-doesnt-have-to-be-horrible/

To get a sense of how misguided it is to think like this, replace “AI” in the text with “asbestos”.

“Asbestos doesn’t have to be horrible”

Aside: asbestos does actually have quite a few legitimate uses but the harms so massively outweigh the benefits that even the US has ended up banning it.
