    No that is completely not what they are saying. Stop arguing strawmen.

      It’s not a strawman, it’s hyperbole.

      There are serious known harms and we suspect that there are more.
      There are known ethical issues, and there may be more.
      There are few known benefits, but we suspect that there are more.

      Do we just knowingly subject untrained people to harm just to see if there are a few more positive usecases, and to make shareholders a bit more money?
      How does their argument differ from that?
