> Banning it at this point just makes it so that only the criminals have access to it I would argue that this isn't really the case; the number of people who have the ability to create something at the level of ChatGPT or to make use of what's out there right now properly, is really quite small. In that sense, if we were to utterly ban the tech, right now, it would probably be sufficient to prevent criminals from using it for most of the things it will be used for criminally, 5 years from now. It's too niche of a field, in its infancy, that if it were utterly and completely shut down, the cartels would not pick up the tab to single-handedly do it themselves. Obviously that won't happen though, nor am I advocating for it. Personally I think the good done will outtweigh the bad many, many times over.
