The people against AI are asking the wrong questions. This is my attempt to get them to retest their priors. Maybe I'm being naive, but here goes.
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥
— Gita 2.47

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away.

Ozymandias, Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1818
I met a traveller from an antique land, who said "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, and wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, tell that its sculptor well those passions read which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things; the hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed"
"And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
