At least religion still pretends to care about people permalink fedilink source parent [–] stickyprimer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 child) If you could ban religion, or ban AI, which would you ban? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 point 2 months ago (1 child) If you ban religion AI will become people's God. So that is really not an option. Religion has caused so much suffering though. A blanket ban on AI seems extreme, perhaps banning commercialization would be the way to go so no one can try and profit from it. Obviously corporations would not like this idea. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] stickyprimer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 child) If you ban religion AI will become people's God.
