I don't hate AI lol. Maybe you should stop making arguments up in your head and, again, address the argument put in front of you.

It's incredibly lazy to group technologies by "were people afraid of this? Yes/No"

You can actually look a bit more closely at the specific technologies being discussed and what we know (now) and knew (then) about them.

Obviously nuclear energy and AI have at least as many differences as they have similarities.

If I'm opposed to drone-based atmospheric deployment of aerosolized anthrax, does that make this technology basically the same as nuclear energy, and therefore my concerns are stupid? Or are there relevant features of the technologies themselves that perhaps matter more than features of people's responses to those technologies?

> I don't need to hear about water or electricity or cognitive decline or any other made up stuff that sounds intellectual.

Again, you're making arguments up in your own head. I didn't talk about any of these things. But now that you mention cognitive decline...
