Believe me, I love debating laws and policy, but I'm 99% sure you're taking the piss and any discussion wouldn't be in good faith.
If you aren't just trolling, take a few minutes to read up on why the US (and every country with the capability) hasn't decided to dismantle their entire nuclear stockpile, or stopped research into nuclear weapons. If you don't have time, the 10,000 foot overview is no one wants to fall behind, if they do they they fear that they wouldn't be able to defend themselves against the same... AI is no different, tell the world to stop researching it and all you guarantee is that countries that don't listen to the global community will outpace the ones that "play fair".
Dude, you jumped from "theft" to murder in under 50 words, no need for the hostilities and it doesn't have the slightest thing to do with "AI porn" or answering writing prompts. While that can be a use of AI, its similar to the way you can use a pizza cutter to slice cheese if you want (even if that's not what it excels at).
In a digital age, the ability to train a model on a specific topic and use it to automatically iterate through an instruction set (while "learning" about outcomes outside of the original training material), can be the difference between thinking your infrastructure is secure or actually securing it.
LLMs have their use in the world, a lot more use than stuff like copyrights, patents, and trademarks. Ever wonder why you can easily get a cheap ripoff of patented goods? Its because not all countries follow the laws of other countries.
All that being said, you don't have to agree, it changes nothing and having opposing views actually makes the world a better place as it spurs discussion and thought. Thank you for being part of such a great community, and thank you for engaging with me and others!
