Ah, so more like self-harm prevention, gotcha.
I guess like any tool, whether it is help or harm depends on the user and usage.
Oh, right. Microsoft is a corp. They don't care about the harm they do until it costs them money.
e: also, I love to bash on ms, but they're not the problem here. These things are being built all over the place.. In companies, in governments, in enthusiasts back yard. You can tell Microsoft, Google, Apple to stop developing the code, you can tell nvidia to stop developing cuda. It's not going to matter.
I suppose, could be harm reduction. Like peeling a bandaid off slowly instead of ripping it off.
They're here, they might not be everywhere yet, but they're here to stay as much as photoshopped images or trick photography are. Just more lies to hide the truth.
All we can do now is get better at dealing with them.
