So tired of this lazy argument. Projectile murder with bows existed before guns. Guns changed the world. A severe force multiplier for something bad can't automatically be handwaved away.

Guns have little use beyond injuring or killing or threatening the same. On the good side: one could argue it's sometimes good to kill for hunting. On the bad side... well there is a lot of suicide, murder, and potential for the same.

I'm not sure we understand yet how much positive and how much negative potential there is in AI.
