I personally agree with the so-called common dipshit libertarian 17-year-old response. What I don't agree with is your reply in any of the replies that you replied to. I read yesterday from an anti AI commenter, "Abolish AI, nobody wants this shit". Well I do and millions like me do as well, sorry to break it to all of you.

The reason it's a common dipshit libertarian 17-year-old is that the premise is we should just be okay with everything, because everything is inevitable, and if X doesn't do it then Y will, and that's how the world works.
Not only is it a horribly cynical view on the world, bordering on Emo (hence the 17 year old part), it's also just obviously not true or desirable.
No, not everything is inevitable. No, actually, we can at least try to discourage stuff. We do it all the time. Like, guns are a thing that exists. But I can't shoot you in the face, that's still illegal.
Obviously legality is not the end-all be-all. But we don't need perfect solutions, that's a programmer's fantasy. Every abstraction is leaky, down to the cellular level. Welcome to Earth. But we can, and do, employ mitigations!
Also, regarding the desirable part: even if you like AI, there's plenty of stuff you don't like. You wouldn't accept "well that's the way it is and we've tried nothing and we're all out of solutions so tough shit", would you?
I mean, maybe you would, but again - that's cynical! And it just sucks too. I don't want to live in that world. I think, actually, nobody does. Anywhere. If they do, it's out of a bizarre desire for self-destruction. Which... okay, fair, but get therapy or something.
Why the fuck did you capitalize, "emo?" You've got a tremendous writing style. It's like Thomas Pynchon if he capitalized the word, "emo" in his books.
