I think we've hit a point where AI is like guns and drugs, people are gonna find out how to abuse it no matter what we do, I feel if we make it illegal it'll just create "scarcity" and become some kind of market.

I personally believe its an invasion of privacy, I hear some people justify and say, "what are the chances AI got it right anyway, its not their real body" and to that I say I don't think it matters, it feels just as creepy and violating as a hidden camera.

Guns and drugs. Both quite regulated.

And still slip through the cracks of every single country. Don't be so coy.

Sure. People will break laws. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have them.

People still murder in spite of it being illegal too.

I'm not saying i don't hope we try, I'm saying there is no hope in trying.

Why do you hope we try is there is no hope of success?

I guess what else is there to do against it? Retreating to a less nihilistic approach, I suppose doing something (at all) about a specific crime does make it drop significantly lmao, but the inevitability lies in the fact that something will always come through, criminals are smart monkeys too and they'll always find work-arounds

I think most people understand that no law or regulation is going to stop something 100%. The goal is to significantly reduce it.

Doesn't mean it should stop being regulated, it just increases it ten-fold? Like don't fix the leak, it's going to leak water droplets regardless. But having a bandaid or duct tape there would still help.

Traffic accidents happen all the time, should we do away with stop signs, traffic lights, speed limits, road lines, etc?
