I’d say that we should consider that this technology is currently saving lives (by aiding drug discovery for instance) and banning it due to potential, unproven

  That's a rather short-sighted and myopic way of thinking. It's like saying that ambulances have saved lives so we should have built cars. But look at all the people who die from pollution. AI has the capability to kill a lot more people (what about all the suicides that will result from people losing their jobs?). Saving lives immediately appeals to emotion, but logically, one must also weigh the costs.

    Pollution is real, AGI isn’t. Even in your toy example the existence of cars has been a net good for humanity, this isn’t even a debate.

    @bootsmann (since I can't reply further) - I absolutely disagree that cars have been a net benefit to humanity.
