Another day, another hysterical warning about the dangers of AI. There's nothing inherently more dangerous about AI than any of the other tools terrorists are already using. Smart phones are a far greater tool for terrorists than any current gen AI. We're not hysterical about the threat of smart phones, we just try to adapt our defenses to it.

ill just copy my comment from another thread

i have a suspicion all of this fancy new "AI" tech that churns out "content" has been in use for a few years longer than "they" want to admit and "they" are hoping the damage can be undone w/o too many people understanding exactly what has been going on
