Just wait a bit, we're at the censorship stage, the next step is them going "gee we didn't realize how good these tools are at faking a human being and spreading misinformation, guess NOW is a good time to regulate it". The government creates problems to harvest the reactions they want just to they can create solutions (that most benefit them) to the problems they made, AI will still be here, but only in the hands of mega corporations, the government, and the military, some tools available to the public will be lobotomized and others will be downright banned (Civitai is already banned in the UK), and everyone having their own local model will be tracked down and treated the same way gunfags who do NONO things to their guns are.

So what's the endgame here? Are they unironically going to make more than half the population starve to death? Shit was already bad before AI and the indian tsunami, can't imagine how hard it'll be for the guys getting out of college
