All AI should stop
It's not going to. Saying all AI should stop is like saying "all gunpowder should stop". Would everyone be better off if no one was using it? Maybe. But that's not going to happen at this point, and will give you a strategic disadvantage if you unilaterally disarm.
And to be clear I'm not talking about using AI to write a screenplay or something creative, I mean like using it to write software, to optimize industrial processes etc.
"All AI should stop" is a far more reasonable opinion than the one presented by the ~~website~~ ~~blog~~ 9-sentence rant linked above.
You have far more in common with the person you're pushing back on than the author of the rant.
I bet me and the person I'm responding to have a ton in common. Likewise me and the person who wrote that post. But I don't relate to the position of "all AI should stop."
I think there should be democratically accountable AI development. I'm interested in open source but the problem with it is that private corporations take advantage of it until they get big enough to try to lock out competitors. (See Google with Android) I would love to see an "open source" license which allows use by individuals and democratic entities, but forbids use by private enterprise.
game theory, my friend. You can't stop if there's a chance someone else is building it. The only way to prevent this would be some sort of AI proliferation treaty like we have for nukes but nukes you test by making large explosions which are easy to detect. How are you going to detect some state backed group in a bunker somewhere disconnected from the internet developing a super AI? I'm fully against ai but the cat is already out of the bag.
