If you worked on creating Ai sorry but you must have known it would eventually be used for evil
If you worked on smithing knives sorry but you must have known eventually someone would get stabbed
If you worked on building cars sorry but you must have known eventually someone would drive one into a protest
If you worked on producing painkillers sorry but you must have known eventually someone would trigger an opioid epidemic for their personal gain
....
A tool is a tool. Regulation and responsibility determine the associated dangers.
Come on now, Ai is on a whole other level than throat things. It would be like me making a robot that stabs things then crying cause someone used it to stab people
Exactly: "Let's make something that removes the human decision making from the process.. Huh, it's evil?!"
There is no causality there.
