What is ever perfect, how can you tell?
It's a tool. Just like any other tool: if you use it in stupid ways you might get hurt or cause harm.
The problem, as always, seem to be human to me
I agree, a reasonable person wouldn't have taken weapons and gone to that warehouse looking to steal a robot body for an AI. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren't reasonable and get endlessly positive reinforcement without any human interaction. I do think that the problem is far more human than technical.
Me hammer ain't out there telling me to murder people with it tho
Wait, yours doesn't say that?
Mate, i think your hammers possessed
All tools are not equally safe nor should they all be publicly available.
A chainsaw is a tool that you might cause harm with if you use it in stupid ways. We don't give chainsaws out to children. We don't use chainsaws for cutting dinner.
There are human elements to the problem but that's not a big reveal.
a tool is not convincing people to not trust their families, therapist; its not convincing people to murder themselves or someone else; its not eliminating the creativity in a process; its not costing hundreds of billions of usd; its not mass-producing propaganda
a tool provides more good than bad
That says more about you than about the topic under discussion.
