No. AI is not the problem, it's only slightly more dangerous than the pain bucket in https://tuxpaint.org/. However, humans have been able to use everything from paint programs to books to do bad stuff.

All the crazy changes we have now is a little scary, but it's important to remember you don't have to be afraid, especially not of the AI. It's almost like being afraid of your word processor.
