> You believe that AI is not useful

I literally said the opposite? You keep arguing with some phantom you've made up.

> thinks AI is a net bad to humanity, even when it is controlled by public

Also not what was said. My point is precisely around it being a tool for private power concentration. If it was publicly owned, that would not be the case, obviously.

> I don't think its worth arguing at this point

I don't think you were ever arguing, you have not addressed any of my points.

I'll go even further and tell you my read of what is going on: You cannot engage with the actual arguments, because doing so would force you to confront the inconsistency of your ideology. To step out of ideology hurts, so you instead address a strawman you've built and then escape the conversation when that becomes untenable.
