unfortunately AI has been in motion since like....the 50s, and the idea has been in public consciousness since ancient times. it was always going to come about - the limiting factor in early decades was funding.

you can directly thank elon musk for removing that obstacle.

i think there are ways we can use AI ethically and sustainably but we are clearly not doing so right now. i'm not sure if we can ever be trusted to use this technology responsibly.
