This sort of nonsense bothers me. So the guardian, a member of the media, is telling us that the media are unwittingly selling an AI fantasy? And the fantasy is that it's positive? Most of the news I see about AI is handwringingly pessimistic about AI being a disaster that will wipe out jobs and maybe the human race, which is the opposite of the thesis of the article. This sort of article is just trying to grab attention and took no thought to write, it has no substance, and took no research or deep insight to write. And the idea that somehow we can get Law before we work out the Ethics of AI? You cant just have fiat law pulled out of a hat that works? How can you possibly expect the law to proactively regulate AI before we know what it is? Because at this point we don't know what it is, its an evolving thing just like the internet was when it first came out. Frankly it's disappointing that drivel like this can make it onto the front page of HackerNews.
