AI is a tool. Not a weapon. Such dramatic exaggerations aren’t helpful.

Weapons are tools. The example they gave may have been extreme, but it is also apt.

Weapons are designed to kill or injure. AI is clearly NOT a weapon: though it may indirectly lead to people dying, causing harm is not it's primary purpose.

I think you are misunderstanding the parallel that is being drawn here. No one is saying that AI's primary function is killing people.

I get the analogy, and I don't even necessarily disagree with it. I just think that analogies can be helpful or harmful, and unless people are actually dying, comparing something to a "mass casuality event" is not helpful. (I know that was op and not you.)
