Have a look at this. Many people feel this way about AI so WordPress should not censor me posting this article from someone else.

“The devil made me do it.” Humans greatest church sanctioned cop out for their own awful behavior, scapegoating Satan. Sure, he was a bad dude to the extreme but he doesn’t control humanity. We have free will.

A.I. is one of the most powerful machines men have ever made and it scares people. But calm down a second. If we compiled a list of all of the machines that we’ve invented as humans it would be vast. And most of them are push of a button, flip a switch, pull a cord or type in a code. They are thinking independently from us and do what we programmed them to do, including the atomic bomb which people don’t freak out about because it killed the enemy. That is sanctioned. Why don’t people think that is satanic, or any number of nasty machines?

Humans have always been able to find balance and use our machines safely, eventually, if we just calmly apply our problem solving skills and look ahead, not behind.
