Looks like its a double edged sword with AI. Nevertheless I don't think el on and other calling for a pause for 6 months or longer would really stop the advancemebt of Ai's at this point.
They were the ones funding it in the first place so why do they think the risk would now lessen with a pause...I beliwve humans have always adapted. However if ai gets the job, there would still be more to be done by humans that ai's can't touch or do.
