So can knives

• 7bit 2y ago
  Which is why there are laws around what knives are allowed and what are banned. Or how we design knifes to be secure. Or how we have a common understanding what we do with knifes - and what not. Such as not giving them to toddlers... So what's your point?

    The point is not the tool but how it's used. "What knives are allowed" is a moot point because a butter knife or letter opener can be used to kill someone.

      But if you give a very sharp knife to a toddler and say "go on, have fun" and walk off, you're probably going to face child endangerment charges at some point.

  Yes, but a person wielding a knife has morals, a conscience and a choice, the fear is that an AI model does not. A lot of killer AI science fiction boils down to "it is optimal and logical that humanity needs to be exterminated"; no morality or conscience involved.
