Calm down about AI. It is not regulatable.

I continue to marvel at the agida over AI. Politicians want to regulate it. They cannot even define it and if you can’t define it, you cannot regulate it.

.

Also, AI is letters and numbers, a.k.a. speech. Utterly unregulatable per the First Amendment.

.

Probably, all the regulating that can be done is already law. No fraud. No libel. No invasion of privacy. No harassment. No stalking.

.

Tik Tok in China is much nicer than Tik Tok in America. Uh, that's because China is a Communist dictatorship. Parents need to monitor and control what kids see on their screens, not the Deep State.

.

I do not even think AI is a thing. The earliest thermostats were AI. They had a coil of room-temperature sensitive wire whose expansion or contraction would turn heat and/or air conditioning on or off.

.

Not really intelligence in a human sense, but "smart" enough to maintain a comfortable room temperature and conserve energy.

The currently famous ChatGPT appears to know grammar and punctuation rules and how to gather key words and phrases and arrange them in a specified quantity. That is arguably just a more advanced version of word processing and Google search.
