AI is here to stay, and the only thing that can stop it at this stage is a Butlerian jihad.
The framing allows the rest of us to get ourselves off the hook. "We didn't have a choice! It was INEVITABLE!"
And so, we have chosen.
> "We didn't have a choice! It was INEVITABLE!"
There is no "we". You can call it the tragedy of the commons, or Moloch, or whatever you want, but I don't see how you can convince every single developer and financial sponsor on the planet to stop using and developing this (clearly very useful) tech. And as long as you can't, it's socially inevitable.
If you want a practice run, see if you can stop everyone in the world from smoking tobacco, which is so much more clearly detrimental. If you manage that, you might have a small chance at stopping implementation of AI.
