You are getting negative feedback, maybe because of tone; but I am up-voting for the message which is in line with HN guidelines and expectations:

1. Comments should be thoughtful even if not coming from a place of expertise

2. Better comments have something useful to share behind the passion

3. "Me too" comments are usually not as interesting to read and rarely add to the discussion

I have personally been both praised and attacked for making detailed, reasoned comments. It's more about the mood and attitude of the reader(s) that determines which way it goes.

AI is a complicated issue because it is creating change very quickly--as many predicted it would 20-30 years ago--and that change is still accelerating.

In your words, the change is exponential--and this may indeed be demonstrated by the performance data over the past several years. It's hard to contemplate or predict when that change will plateau, but we definitely aren't there yet.

The ultimate impact on the world society is likely to be profound. Whether you like it or hate it, it is happening. Those who lose a job to AI may find that their mother is saved by a medicine or doctor aided by AI. It's complicated.

Perhaps there are ways to legislate compromises into its use or expansion in some parts of the world--but it is likely a technology that has at least as much positive potential for humanity as it does negative--so legislation is going to have to address the good and the bad and no country is an island unto itself.

Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
