    Now people watch their phone while eating and the public discourse is filled with their algorithm infused opinions.

    Globalisation took care of the rest. Children still work, slaves still exist, but not visible to us.

    AI can be hidden but not prevented.

      Measles can be hidden but not prevented. All your silly vaccines did was push measles into the dark alleyways. It’s pointless, pointless—it’s all pointless!

            Vaccines change the world and prevent the origin of the illness. They work.

            To prevent AI, laws are needed, like they are needed to end slavery. Laws don’t change the origin, just the opportunities. So if somebody finds a new opportunity, that opportunity is used.

            In theory, it’s possible to prohibit AI all over the world. But like slavery, people will find ways to get it anyway.
