Not the mod, but IMO anyone who has a rational outlook on AI is fine. That is, it’s a technology that has some use cases for some problems, mostly involving neural net stuff that the average person will probably never interact with.
The problem people are the ones who insist that it will ‘revolutionize society’, that the well-documented errors of the tech are overblown, that it’s not currently in a bubble, that it’s not being used in utterly unethical ways that nobody asked for, that AGI is just around the corner, etc.
People walk out in front of buses all the time. Know what happens? The bus stops. Because it’s going at a reasonable speed and driven by a driver that’s actually good at driving. The only time this isn’t the case is when it’s a long-distance bus going at highway speeds. It’s really simple; replacing multiple vehicles driven by amateurs with one vehicle driven by a professional will save lives, regardles of what pedestrians are doing.
