What you (and others in this thread) are also doing is a sort of maximalist dismissal of AI itself as if it is everything that is evil and to be on the right side of things, one must fight against AI.
This might sound a bit ridiculous but this is what I think a lot of people's real positions on AI are.
Yet to see anything good come from it, and I’m not talking about machine learning for specific use cases.
And if we look at the players who are the winners in the AI race, do you see anyone particularly good participating?
That's definitely not what I am doing, nor implying, and while you're free to think it, please don't put words in my mouth.
