If I dig a well for everyone in my tribe
I would compare it to an enormous dam, messing with the ecosystem, the wildlife and destroying tousands of small towns and villages.
If creating an opportunity for use gets misused
My point is that nobody knows what misusing according to the bot creator is, because he takes the money first and punishes later.
But the bot creators are pioneers. One day someone will come up with a smart AI-Solution because he spent 10-60 hours a week into that instead of manually cleaning the mess of his botchy bot.
Further, I can say for certain that there wasn't a way that it was meant "back in the days"
The motive was to create first and to curate later, I'm not talking about the white paper but @dan's vision:
