AIs are a tool, at least currently, and depend on the way you use them like any other tool. Future AGI would be a whole other dangerous can of paperclips, but we dont have that yet.

I never said I didn't recognise the quote from Terry Pratchett's Lords and Ladies (which incidentally, shares many interesting parallels between The Witcher - namely, the elves being evil/not good, the elves having space bending powers, the elves being from another world, which the portal to is opened by a young girl, and they are associated with snow/frost. Like, I'm not saying Marcin Sapkowski was definitely inspired, but it's an interesting coincidence at least.)

Edit: I didn't click your link, for your information

This is the internet. No one cares if you know something or not. You don't have to be defensive about it.
