"We dared to hope we had invented something that would bring lasting peace to the Earth. But we were wrong. We underestimated man’s capacity to hate and to corrupt good means for an evil end." --Orville Wright
AIs are the airplanes of the 21st century. They were invented to be used for good, but they will quickly be used for evil as well.
I did use an LLM to find the exact verbiage of this quote.
I don't know that that's true. It seems a lot of development -- probably most of it, in money and engineer-hours -- has gone towards the cynical deployment of AI for making money for uses which are dubious at best. I don't think anyone developed AI chatbots to be used for good. I think they were designed to be good-enough replacements for human beings, who would be fired en masse in order to save enterprise customers a bunch of money, which would then go towards their wealthy shareholders and its (now smaller!) pool of employees.
