No it's like asking Madagascar to enforce jwalking laws in the USA. The cats out of the bag you could ban BigTech from using AI tomorrow and we'd still have plenty of AI Taylor Swift porn.

That's because the people always know what's important ;) It's also the reason that any AI product lives and dies (mostly) depending on whether people will pay for it, especially with finite money. AI hype is only not real if it doesn't evidently move some needle for enough people for a long time consistently. In the short term, it can rely alone on people thinking it's important or the future, and it may be, but that sort of has to play out in some meaningful way. Much like every AI wave before it, and things like Web 3, it'll probably change a few things that weren't already completely automated, but beyond that it isn't really inherently a new type of value created, unless it is. If Madagascar created an AI tool to detect jay walkers, it wouldn't make enforcement of jay walking sensible, it wouldn't stop people from doing it, and it wouldn't even be operational unless the long tail of bylaw enforcement was also completely automated and actionable. If it's not, then you're just spreading some other resource thin or creating more financial problems for more people who just want to cross the street. I'm not going to walk half a KM to the next light if I can see it's safe to do otherwise, so to solve that problem you want to make driving much cheaper and efficient, then people will never feel safe to jay walk since there will always be traffic, and why would people not be driving anyway!? AirBnB built tools that made it as easy as possible for people to convert housing into short term rentals, and maximize their return using ML to price them. That's great for them, except the original inspiration was ostensibly to recoup some of the insane rent they were already paying in SF because of existing political nonsense and too many people making too much money. The result ended up being spreading SFs problem to everywhere else instead of solving anything while SF continues being an absolute human catastrophe. Incidentally, now cities are realizing both AirBnB and terrible housing policy just vacuums up their economy, killing their population and productivity along the way until it costs 100% of the average salary to live in a place, and most of that cash ends up sitting idle, being invested elsewhere, or continually intensifying the same problem until living in a tent city seems like a high prospect. You can extract more money more efficiently, but if there isn't money to replace it, people just end up not spending that money on things that are equally important, like raising their kids, food, medication.
