This is like saying I don't need safety systems in a car because they can let me go to the grocery store faster.
We focus on stopping bad things because people and systems that don't prevent bad things tend to stop existing. A million good things can happen yet be rendered permanently in vain if one bad terrible thing occurs.
No, I'm not arguing that at all.
I think we should stop the bad things.
We don't stop building cars because there are crashes, we build better safety systems.
I'm against the doomer narrative ("AI will kill us all") not against a clear eyed approach to making safe systems.
