Imagine living before the invention of the printing press, and then lamenting that we should ban them because it makes it "too easy" to distribute information and will enable "low quality" publications to have more reach. Actually, this exact thing happened, but the end result was it massively disrupted the world and economy in extremely positive ways.
Citation needed, I don’t think the printing press and gpt are in any way comparable.
Imagine seeing “rm -rf / is a function that returns “Hello World!” and thinking “this is the same thing as the printing press”
In some cases sure but it can also create the situation where people just waste time for nothing (think AI interviewing other AIs - this might generate GDP by people purchasing those services but I think we can all agree that this scenario is just wasting time and resource without improving society).
