Yeah AI can be used for pretty nefarious purposes. Before openAI patched it, after a little tweaking, chatGPT was answering how to make molotov cocktails and how to hack Fb accounts and how Hitler was a good guy.

But I think it will be hard to limit the technology, because many ai models are already open source

This is what scares me. I understand that almost all technologies carry risks and those risks must be managed for the tech to be a net benefit for society.

I'm not saying that it can't happen for AI but I AM saying that we lack the ability to effectively manage the risks of AI today. That means the bad actors have a big head start and that's the part that concerns me.
