It’s like if someone said “I’m scared of someone bringing a semi-automatic weapon to my school and doing a mass shooting. My country has lax laws about guns and their proper use”. And then you said “in your case the problem is not guns, it’s your country”.

I mean, it’s technically true, but also unhelpful. Such ingrained laws are hard to change and you can be placed in danger for even trying.

Before someone decries the gun example as not being comparable, it is possible to live in a country with a monumental number of guns and not have mass murdering every day. It’s called Switzerland.

But let’s please stick to the subject of AI, which is what the thread is about. The gun example is the first analogy which came to mind, and analogies are never perfect, so it’s unproductive to nitpick the example. I don’t mean to shift the conversation from one contentious topic to another.
