Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I am here to call out the natural/unnatural fallocy. It is silly. Can you really draw a line between the two (natural vs unnatural) in a way that is logical and still supports your argument?
Ah fair. I was confused by the language. I thought you were saying broadly that AI was bad because it is unnatural rather than because it is cultural / technological.
I still don't think you've made a good case though. We have lots of tech that had us think less that didn't lead to the end of humanity. What would make AI special enough to end us? People have felt apocalyptic about a lot of things.
From my perspective the issues aren't about AI itself. The issue is that a small group of folks control our society and how tech gets used.
What do you mean by "regress"? Is the Mexican tetra un-evolving its eyes not a regression?
What is gained by having no eyes? Can you answer my question about what it means to regress?
