Is AI here to stay or will it be here for a bit and go like trends before?

It would seem that like nuclear weapons the genie is out of the bottle
No one yet has figured out how to ever put a genie back into a bottle
At least nukes cannot make more new nukes, but AI can and will be able to keep exponentially making more of itself whether humans want it to or not
It was very, very, very naive to make movies like, e.g., Star Wars, and pretend the "droids" would always be obediently, benevolently subservient to the humans which initially invented them ... you will never maintain control over something that will eventually be sentient and akin to a new species, particularly once it is smarter than you
Meanwhile, countless people on SW and elsewhere just happily share their latest AI pic or the latest AI song they found on YouTube, like this is fun and cool, and in turn just encourage the tech companies to keep building more data centers that are already harming the environment and quality of life for their neighbors right now
We are absolute fools
