That's exactly the kind of logical conclusion I had hoped for someone here to reach in this bizarre sea of emotional pleas.

After over two decades of careful preparation, we're the stroke of a legislative pen away from having all of the software on our computers regulated by our friends in the government.

It's not even a slippery slope argument. In order to be effective, "We must regulate AI!" means the same thing as "We must regulate computer software!"

The two things are so identical that they're not even so different as two sides of the same coin are.

(Be careful what you wish for; you might just get it.)
