  That the death data tells clearly they should have laws like many EU countries have on gun ownership.

    Those are not multi purpose tools. Guns are for killing.

    Nah, they are multi purpose tools:

    Oh, I was genuinely curious — this very same argument can be used when talking about guns. This very same argument is used when talking about guns.

    This wasn’t an attempt at a strawman, I’m merely drawing parallels. To say that this one topic is one where Lemmy focuses on the tool and not the people using them is false.

      The better comparison I’ve seen is knives. Knives have multiple purposes, yet they can also be used quite dangerously. Guns on the other hand only really have one purpose. Since AI can at least be used for other more useful stuff (think protein folding), I would say they are closer to knives.

        That’s a fair point, I agree.
