      the point I was trying to make is that the reason both pro and anti-AI sentiments are blind is because “AI” companies are purposely mixing up things that don’t belong together, in order to attract investments.

      If you wrote “cruise ships are generating a lot of pollution” and someone answered “but it Magellan or Columbus hadn’t had ships, our knowledge of the World wouldn’t have advanced”, you’d think they are gaslighting you, right? You wouldn’t say “this blind anti-ship sentiment is going to hurt geography”

        Sure capitalism is going to capitalize and make false claims, but the extreme over reaction to the contrary (much like with crypto) is likely to lead (much like with crypto) to normal people shunning it while only the already rich and powerful really benefit.
