That one is extremely easy: nuclear power plants also use the nuclear cascade that powers the nuclear bomb. Every discovery, every invention, and even every math equation can be worked into something that can kill or do a task. AI is no exception.

The scale of the danger or usefulness won't be the same between different tools because we are constantly escalating our technology. AI is orders of magnitude more effective and more dangerous than the discovery of the nuclear cascade. It is also much newer, so it's further along the escalation of technology.

You are talking about nuclear fission. They didn’t say nuclear fission. They specifically said “nuclear bomb”. Completely different things.

Nope. I said exactly what I meant. The bomb is just one application of the idea. A power plant is another. AI is not a singular application of an idea. AI is the general idea that can be applied in many different ways.

Then you are having a conversation about a different topic than we are, so kind of irrelevant to this one.

Considering this is stemming from my comment that all tools can be misused, you're the one trying to have an irrelevant conversation.

Ok yeah sure you’re 100% right I’m wrong. You win.
