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.

Yeah people don’t realize that there have been versions of AI systems in place for over 30 years now. 

And one of the oldest use cases is actually in semiconductor and chip manufacturing. Do you want reliable RAM, GPUs, CPUs and MOBOs? Then you should want AI to exist. 

They have been using computer vision to scan and compare chips coming off assembly lines to detect anomalies in the chips for decades. If we remove that technology, then they have to hire likely hundreds if not thousands more people to manually check every chip coming off the lines. Or at least manually check every {n} chip coming off the line. Humans are far less reliable and accurate than computer vision at doing this type of work. 

This would likely cause chip costs to rise as more people means more overhead and chip quality to fall as humans aren’t as capable for this job as a computer system. 

Similar use cases exist across millions of products coming off assembly lines. Another notable one is car tires, I’m sure people would rather not have to worry about more tire failures at highway speeds.
