How can presumed utility be a justification for not being against it? Is it not unlike one being against environmental injury or war, even though many would justify their continuation and ignore the clear evidence of lasting damage? Nobody cried out for such an invasive tool that abuses the user. Nobody voted for it. The only way forward that is rational or righteous is \u201czero tolerance of harm.\u201d Let\u2019s see if those with a vested interest in seeding communities with AI can measure up to that standard. I won\u2019t hold my breath.
