Of course not. Even the developers of AI admit there's a huge risk though, no? Even they are calling for a slowdown. Do you think you know more than they do?
I know well enough; I'd be surprised if they know more than I do. And I also know very heavily that we cannot stall into societies of empowered deficient humans.
I can play that game, too.
