A few thoughts on AI...
Firstly, its not AI. It's called AI because something like "Large data pool analysis algorithms using fuzzy logic" doesn't roll off the tongue easily, which isn't good for marketing... and also because it used to be called that when software could do something that they used to think took intelligence to do. It's not that the software is intelligent, it's that the problem has been better quantified.
Secondly, it's definitely here to stay. Pandora's box has been opened, the genie is out of the bottle. Even if half of the world bans some sort of AI definition, the other half will gleefully offer it in order to take attention and money and personal data.
And that's the third thing. AI imagine generation and chatbots might not be directly profitable, but they are strong vectors for private data gathering. You want to slow them down, get some congressmen or whatever to pass some restrictions there. And good luck with that.
And, ultimately, controlled 'AI' is not a bad thing. Its an incredibly powerful tool for processing large amounts of data... somewhat unreliably, but that will improve. As a species we need that, the next Big Thing that will shift us a bit further towards... I dunno, singularity or wherever we're heading. Anyway, the point is that we need to figure out how to adopt and implement it smoothly, not panic about it.
