I'd add this: 15 years ago or so, the Internet was still considered a frightening frontier which couldn't be controlled, yada yada. 'But anyone can circumvent those rules on the Dark Web,' that kind of discourse. True! People can do a lot of things if they really want. But in practice, they don't. And the main reason is convenience. Major platforms have fenced the commons and gotten away with it because users like convenience and the benefits of network effects. Throwing up various simple barriers works on most users, full stop. So yeah, it's definitely possible to regulate the AI use of the vast majority of people, if that's our goal
A friend of mine has been mandated - yes mandated - to teach “responsible ai use” in next semester’s world literature course. No details as to what this looks like have been forthcoming.
I think, at least in the legal context, the ban needs to take place as part of a larger discussion about the use of AI in firms, because it is the current trend to use LLMs to assist in form drafting, diligence, etc. Still, I’m glad we didn’t have to worry about the issue when I went through law school (only 5 years ago, hard to believe).

The Dark Web! I haven't heard that name in years...

Absolutely intolerable.
