The West doesn't necessarily need to do everything the same way China does; for example, they have a social credit system that a lot of people would object to be implemented here.

AI's capabilities are overstated; it can be useful in a few specific cases, but it has significant limitations, is prone to errors, is extremely costly, and has numerous drawbacks.

Oh big disagree, massive.  AI speeds up R&D, which feeds prodict innovation.  Innovation brings in money.

China used it and we don't,...  the msrket will.be theirs with massive bump of income.  

We absolutely can't sit on the sideline.

AI speeds up some processes, but it also makes mistakes, requiring additional time to be spent fixing these errors.

AI itself also cannot innovate because it cannot produce original ideas, it can only remix and regurgitate whatever data is fed into it.

It's a useful tool for some tasks, like say upscaling, but there's major limits on what it can reliably do, and it's mostly not cost effective as it's expensive to run at scale. AI companies are bleeding billions of dollars and are kept on life support by investors who still buy into the hype.
