Precisely, I too have a bone to pick with AI companies, Big Tech and Co but there are deeper societal problems at work here where blanket bans and the like are useless or a slippery slope towards policies that can be abused someday/somehow. And solutions for solving those underlying problems? I haven't the faintest clue. Though these days I think the lack of third spaces in a lot of places might have a role to play in it.
