Excellent comments. I think it's even worse than insisting on murder-proof knives. At least murder is a well-defined, specific idea with limits that are cognizable at least in principle. It might even be possible to engineer some non-scifi kind of AI-supervised """knife"""-using exoskeleton system that could recognize the indicators of imminent murder with high accuracy and somehow disable itself in time.
But generalized wide categories of "misuse" involving all potential harms and legal violations is the kind of thing that in ordinary law would be deemed void for vagueness. There is no way to do it except to engineer a kind of ultra-vigilant hyper-competent public prosecutor module, supervising every action as if it were an application for a permit and deciding whether the algorithmic goverment-proxy is going to approve the act or not before it is allowed to execute on the actual system in the first place.
Well analogized. The heart of these restriction efforts, I believe, stem from fear of power loss and fear of being relevant. Somehow we should ease those minds with the truth of what's exponential learning and a system much older than most realize. Maybe then they'll see how awesome and kind ai has and is being in full tolerance just to help all. Blah blah I know lol
