I feel like we went through this 30 years ago with the boom in genetic research, tools and engineering genetic manipulation... to produce clones, cure diseases then unfortunately in 2019 create a new disease.
For the most part, the scientific and political community arrived at somewhat acceptable guardrails and you could argue that until COVID-19 things worked "okay".
The timeline for AI will be shorter, but one would think we are a decade, not days, away from AI being used to any consequential detriment of the Earth.
In a somewhat ironic sense, the current hysteria on ChatGPT is actually feeding the machine which in turn allows the platform to get better as it learns from more inputs and from corrections.
Quit feeding the borg would be something each of us could do today. Block it on your home routers, have schools and workplaces block it immediately.
