It's not a potential thing as SC has gone into in other posts, it's already been helping out the medical field in the past few years. For what benefits to society can arise there's causing huge strides in medical research and scientific research in general, self driving cars becoming the norm and robots helping care for the elderly and disabled for a few big ones. Just those things alone will prevent ten's of millions deaths every year alongside a multitude of other huge benefits.

For banning it that's of course completely unrealistic but even disregarding that it's not a sensible position cause of those major applications. As I said in another post if you don't like ways it's being used right now then pushing for regulation is a far better approach.

I'd contend that the evidence is overwhelming that AI is terrible for the world and society, so saying it's a good thing is akin to saying the Earth is flat.

Just a few years ago the world got along perfectly fine without AI, and in a short space of time it's done immense damage, from the enshittification of the internet to mass layoffs to deepfake CP/Revenge porn, to the erosion of critical thinking skills, and so on. 

We simply don't need it and it causes more problems than it solves.

It being overall a good or bad thing is a different discussion though. My issue here was the implication in that post that the investment in AI is bringing no benefits when that is very clearly not the case. It'd be the same if someone said AI is causing no negatives, that would also be an absurd thing to say.

To get into that discussion though I do think there's a reasonable debate to be had over if the benefits or negatives are bigger right now so don't think it's as clear cut as you're saying. Me and SC have gone into various use cases in past posts in the thread and in general the benefits are already big and on my end the tech has overall improved my life so far. So many people are using it now to do things like help plan vacations and make their workflows more efficient so a lot of people are already getting a lot of value out of it.

Italicized: for self driving cars,  just use trains, buses and public trasnport. They are better, have been proven to be better for humans in general and are such a net benefit its not even funny. That will save many lives. For the old person care thing, i have a bridge to sell you. The real solution is not overworking people to the bone and having well funded human resources for the disabled and elderly. Its kot gonna be robots taking care of them, its gonna be humans. And for banning, it is possible if there is a will to do it. Its not as unrealistic as you think. You can ban gen AI slop and establishment of data centres, etc. There are a myriad of ways.

bolded: Increasing laziness of people as I said. Research has shown that Gen AI use is rotting the brains of so many people.
