Exactly; AI is to intellectual property or skills what shell corporations are to lobbying... they're a tool that won't benefit everyone equally and is unaffordable to most people.

It COULD be used for good (that's why its proponents use tone-deaf analogies comparing AI to seats on a rocket)... but we know that --- for the most part --- it WON'T be used for good... (It's already being used to spread more disinformation and to fan the flames of fascism).

Technically, you could argue that shell corporations could protect journalists, but you don't see journalists destabilizing democracies by fueling dark money to alt-right groups here and there.

One of the very first things the government used it for when they got their hands on it was for targeting missiles, and then they promptly bombed a school full of kids. It's like Idiocracy meets Terminator.

human repeats bad idea.
