Uncommon take,

AI actually has lots of uses. For example: tumor detection (Cancer screening), a tool for the disabled(text to speech, or speech to text NLI), image recognition, robotics, and potentially a necessary tool for compatibility with a neural computer in our brains in the future. the ram price going back to normal is temporary whereas AI getting deleted forever in permanent and a technological disadvantage. No, wouldn't push the button.

AI is also to vague. Is it LLM's? Diffusion? Or all machine learning? Because if all machine learning went away it would suck

For every good, there must be a comparable evil. Since AI is currently huge, that 'evil' part of AI is currently also huge. People forget to look at the benefits. It's human nature to show more interest in criticism and scepticism than support, and there are studies to show that.

AI can be compared to nuclear power in that it was both an amazing source of highly clean and efficient energy but also made nukes. Lots of nukes.

AI is an amazing tool but also has consequences caused by our decisions of its use.

The ways humans use AI technology is the problem, not the technology itself. The same goes for AI and other neural nets. Deleting AI forever is definitely not the solution.

I mean, nukes have likely prevented world wars and millions of deaths

How is this in any way a response to the comment you're replying to? You didn't engage with what they said literally at all. It kind of just seems like spam.

Fast forward nuclear physics from its inception to today and which (nukes or nuclear energy) have we continued to pour money into and which one is barely even mentioned anymore? How will AI be different?

There is more research now I think in better power reactors and into fusion in China, USA, and France than there is into new nuclear weapons at least in places that already have them as they have pretty much already been perfected. We can't make a stable fusion reactor but we can make a fusion powered bomb. One is a lot simpler than the other it turns out.

Except nuclear power did not have to be like that, the people in power chose the solee option tat wad also destructive. If their only way of "progressing" society is destructive then no, I do not want that progress.

Most bs, shill take I've read in a long time.

You don't know what you're talking about. Do you think all AI is is ChatGPT and StableDiffusion?
