I mean, yes, but also that’s a bit nuclear. Machine learning has real, fully good ethical and responsible uses… The problem is that society has yet to agree on the philosophy of what that is, and most business-first minded people have SUPER shitty, or even completely missing moral compasses.

So, effectively what you say, yes. But technically with much nuance and many clauses, not entirely.

We are clearly not ready as a species to handle it. Though, maybe we’ll burn the shit out of our hands in the next coming century enough to learn. But either way, it’s DEFINITELY not an “ignore all risk and run blindly at this shiny new flame” thing like a lot of people seem to think and treat it.
