    The difference is that guns were built to hurt and kill things. That is literally the only thing they are good for.

    AI has thousands of different uses (cue the idiots telling me its useless). Comparing them to guns is basically rhetoric.

    Do you want to ban rope because you can hang yourself with it? If someone uses a hammer to kill, are you going to throw red paint at hammer defenders? Maybe we should ban discord or even lemmy, I imagine quite a few people get encouraged to kill themselves on communication platforms. A real solution would be to ban the word “suicide” from the internet. This all sounds silly but it’s the same energy as your statement.
