    At this point that’s the equivalent of complaining about people calling gun violence a problem because “guns don’t kill people, people kill people”. If you hand the public easy access to a dangerous tool then of course they’re going to use it to do dangerous things. It’s important to recognize the inherent danger of said tool.

      AI is more like torrents, password cracking software, TOR, ect than guns. Just because they can be used for bad or illegal things doesn’t mean those software programs are bad. When companies in the past tried to get certain software banned they ran into the issue that if it could be used for legal reasons that enough for them to exist legally.

      Now AI does have the issues with how it is trained so the AI itself can be problematic.

      I didn’t say we shouldn’t talk about the problem with the AI I have issues with people making the AI the complete issue ignoring that people use the AI. It reminds me of how automakers tried to make the people driving cars the reason for deaths in car crashes.Thankfully that didn’t work and automakers where forced to make cars safer making it safer on the road. It didn’t stop car crashes from happening since the human element is there. Which there are things in place that partly address that (Such as Driver’s license test, taking away some people’s driver’s license, ads reminding people of the rules of the road.). I’m annoyed that articles are doing the opposite of what car makers did. Humans are using the AI to do bad stuff mentioned that also! How can we change that? Yeah, it will probably be best to do something to the AI program, but we can’t ignore the human element since they the one who are creating the AI, using the AI, and consuming the AI products.

      People use guns to kill people so we need to look at both to make it happen less.
