That's the rub, isn't it? Every individual is going to have a different opinion based on their experience.

The trouble is, humans can't even agree on what reality is as each person is viewing life through the tinted lens of their own experience and character profiles. I believe the starting point for answering your question is what kind of world do you want to live in?

This topic is really going to be irrelevant in just a few years anyway. The AI crisis is upon us and the people who should be working on the solution don't even understand the problem.
