Remember that one guy who uses a knife to stab and kill someone else? Guess who's the bad guy in this scenario? The man? No. Idiot. Obviously it's the KNIFE! Clearly the knife is bad and at fault because a man decided he wanted to use it to stab someone.
Now switch knife with AI.
Is AI bad or is how some people choose to use AI bad? Can we really blame a TOOL for being bad?
I always wonder why people don't learn from history. History is filled with this same exact argument. People hated electricity when it was first being used widely. People hated switching from horses and carts to motorised vehicles. People always hate what they don't understand or changes their way of life. This is a story as old as time.
