What do you think the authors of the video don't understand? You must have some insights if you say you understand AI better then everyone criticizing it.
Nuance. It's clear they're trying to turn a complex issue into a simple black and white one.
Futility. The "AI Revolution" is happening and nothing will stop it or meaningfully slow it down. If you're worried about it (and everyone should be) then you need to think about how it can be made better, not how it can be stopped.
I'm not the person you replied to, but I do agree with them. I don't claim to understand AI better than everyone who's critical and I doubt the person you replied to would make that claim either.
Your argument of futility is truly horrifying.
AI must be stopped. We must fight it at every turn. To do otherwise is to willingly accept a horrific dystopian future
How are you going to convince ten billion people not to use AI? You can't do it.
So no matter how awful and demonstrably harmful something is, we should just accept it because it's "inevitable"?
Concluding that something is scary or dystopian doesn't make it less true. There is literally no way that we can stop AI. It's code that anyone can download and run.

If and only if it's inevitable, then yes.
