AI is like a draft horse. It can be useful to pull heavy things under some very specific circumstances and under strict supervision and control. But you must keep it secluded inside of a pen with sturdy barriers that it cannot get past even if it wanted to and never let it access anything else than a copy of what you want it to work on.
You absolutely don’t want it to be able to roam freely because one day it will completely ignore anything you told it to do, go into your house, destroy everything and shit on the carpet.
And unlike the horse, no matter how much it pretends to express regret, the AI will remain just as likely to screw up the exact same way again.
A draft horse? For an hour if she had just peed and pooped. Not sure if my cat would love or hate her. I’d want her owner to come too, so she’d feel calm about it. After all she’d barely have room to turn around.
I would let a real-live draft horse into my apartment living room if for instance it and its owner needed shelter from ICE. They’d never suspect, because I’m one floor up from the street but there’s a back way through my building which doesn’t require an elevator.

Aren’t draft horses bred to be gentle and biddable? AI is like a raging bull.
Would you keep one in your living room?

A raging bull? No thanks.
Well I wouldn’t. If AI is worse, it says a lot about letting it have read/write permissions over your system now doesn’t it?
Oh, not AI. Never AI.

But never AI.
