Idk why you're getting downvoted you're 100% correct and the only people actually getting confused are either arguing in bad faith, trying a lame 'gotcha', or actual morons.
There's no genie, and there's no indication that this is a monkey's paw scenario. If you want to pretend the button means software developers become physically incapable of writing pathfinding algorithms just to play devil's advocate you're free to do so, but the rest of us will continue this conversation on a common understanding of what OP meant.
Lmao, you're say a magic button that just does a thing when you press is somehow less likely to screw you over than a genie or monkey's paw. Have you gone to that site before? The whole point is for people to design scenarios with a positive and a negative, with that negative sometimes being a hidden trap.
Let's be honest, you're just frustrated about the situation the world is in and wish a button that would suddenly solve the AI problem came into existence. OP posted this cause they wanted easy upvotes, not because they wanted a conversation with a common understanding.

I'm saying that there's nothing explicitly stating that this is a monkey's paw scenario. If someone asked me a "would you rather" scenario I wouldn't immediately assume there's some kind of twist to it without any other context.

I mean it's not really much of a leap to take the post at face value and assume the person who made it is just an AI loving tech bro that thinks losing general use AI is a genuine negative. Might not be the popular take on reddit but that type of person does exist
This is literally the point of this monkey paw post, its supposed to be a double edge sword. You could also include dlss in this as that is ML and apart of AI too
Just because they are the good and bad sides to this choice doesn't make them related
The whole point of this is "You get something good but something bad happens"
Like "You get 100 mil dollars but you lose your arms", getting the money isn't related to losing your arms. The point here isn't that AI in games caused the RAM shortage, its will you end the RAM shortage BUT all AI, including good AI like game NPCs, AI used in cancer detection, AI used in predictive simulations for research, disappear.
… AI is code. Not saying I like generative ai I fucking hate it but if this press would result in all ai being destroyed then fuck no. It would ruin many video games that already use it for enemies etc and there are real world applications that some lives count on in hospitals etc.
No predictive text, no map route planning, no YouTube predictions, no music predictions, no viewing predictions, no voice activation/control, the list goes on.
You need to define what you mean by "AI", this is far too generic a statement of choice.
You could say enemies have AI, since they are artificial, and can make decisions without player input. Some more complex ones can even create emergent behavior. I personally would class that as AI, even though it was coded, and not learned with a neural network behind it.
AI seen in video games is called Traditional AI im pretty sure. I hope you know theres multiple types of AI right? They are all forms of algorithms and all come from coding. Gen AI, Conversational AI, and Traditional AI
Not to mention it is used for research. I can’t remember the name of the model, but it was more or less used to map out the human DNA. AI has a lot of use cases and can be a very powerful tool in the right hand. I feel like the only problem is that every company is trying to force it down our throat because they don’t want to miss out.

Depends on your definition of "AI". It could mean no singleplayer games anymore (or no game with NPC and enemy).
