I mean, I do find it really hard to say that -it- is a bad thing. It's not doing morality, it's doing wordle. It can't help it if the gamemasters are a bunch of malthusian racists, lol.
If I imagine the most generous scenario, though. Of an information portal with curated sources...the positive appeal is obvious...but I don't see that as diminishing it's negative applications or effectiveness at all. Curated by whom..by what? Knowing us, we'll put doombot in charge of keeping nukebot in check.
Fair enough, agreed again; it is a good thing, a beautiful thing, in theory... so it's easy to understand why the Miles Dyson's of the world are happy to keep on with all that beautiful R&D... until the practical reality comes crashing down, and they realise it's a genie you can't put back in the bottle.
And yes, I understand your second point as well, that since there is basically a feedback relationship between us and it, then even the best of intentions may still turn to shit in practice, to the extent that it reflects the negative in us.
