Fire bad, who cook with fire, fire burn, fire pollute, fire baaaaad

So is the computer you’re using
Nothing wrong with examining potential issues for emerging technology before they become actual issues.
For sure, and I agree. But that isn’t what happens around here. Instead we turn to panic rather than skepticism. We are cynical more than anything. And I don’t trust cynicism about topical subjects.
This wasn’t well reasoned objectivism. It was journalist and artist fearing for their jobs about technology they don’t understand. They generate a lot of content to generate panic. The mob saw the panic and adopted it. You’re not a true lefty unless you accept that AI is some new danger to the threat of the lowly creative.
What’s your point here?
They’re trying to compare “AI” to fire. If you don’t see the point, I can’t blame you.
