The speaker argues that slowing AI or limiting its general capabilities is not the right response to harmful uses, comparing that approach to slowing the internet or reducing storage to address illegal online content.

“especially when with such an omni-use type of technology as AI is,”

“And I feel like people are trying to regulate AI sometimes because of those potential downsides the way you would regulate the Internet if you were to say,”

“well, because there's bad content on the Internet,”

“like torture porn or whatever,”

“like we should just make it slower.”

“That way you can share the illegal content as quickly or we should make the hard drive smaller so you can store as much illegal content.”
