Kitchen knife, razor blades are a different category, for self-help books also. LLM is completely different category and there is no point of comparing knife to an llm besides to do a relativization.
The tools are relative. Pick a tool. It can be used wrong. You are special pleading, dogmatism, intellectual dishonesty.
If you’re going to refuse entire categories of tools then we are down to comparing AI to AI, which is a pointless conversation and I want no part of it.
The point is not to compare but analyze how AI affects us and the world around us, society. By saying "it's just a tool", or "knives can also be missuesd" you relativize discussion and that rethoric just contributes to defending openAI and other big techs and even helping them banalize the issue.
From what i witnessed is that people lose agency, get and belive fake info, everything becoming slop, people loosing jobs getting replace by more workers that are less payed etc.
EDIT: And no it's not the same as knife or razor or a gun, it will never be.
You could say the same about social media and the entire internet. Would you choose to regulate that?
I recall in the mid 90s a group of people on the street corner protesting AOL (America OnLine) and saying the internet should be stopped.
They may have had a point, but the technology wasn’t to blame for the shit that’s it’s used for.
The vague way you talk about AI makes be think that you don’t know much about it. what do you use AI for? Is it ChatGPT?
