    We’re going to learn a painful lesson

    AI isn’t responsible. People are responsible.

    It doesn’t matter if it’s code, writing, or military decisions. People can / should be held accountable. As soon as people choose to remove their own accountability, that’s when the bad stuff happens. Whether it’s slop code or innocent civilians killed in a missile strike

      This is absolutely the case. Sometime the person responsible will be the person using the AI, sometimes the people responsible will be the people who created that AI, but actual humans must always be accountable when AI is used to cause harm
