The real question isn't whether AI should be used; it's whether we govern specific risks or just throttle a general-purpose tool. Broad usage limits sound safe, but they'd slow down the exact applications we need: faster drug screening, cheaper tutoring, better climate models. The other side's concerns about misuse are fair, and targeted rules for fraud, bio risks, and transparency make sense. But blanket limits mostly protect incumbents and push development where we can't see it. We've handled powerful tech by managing specific harms, not restricting access. AI deserves that same evidence-based approach.
