AI Safety Advocates: No Shame in Using AI, But Superintelligence Poses Logical Risks
AdrienLE · x · 2026-08-03
A recent discussion in the AI safety community highlights a common phenomenon: people often feel ashamed to admit they use ChatGPT or Claude when speaking with AI safety advocates.
Advocates clarify that working on safety regulations does not mean opposing AI usage. They themselves use AI frequently and deeply appreciate its massive potential to solve complex problems in math, science, disease, and human coordination.
However, they emphasize that acknowledging AI's utility does not negate its risks. Building superintelligent systems logically entails systemic risks, making active alignment and regulatory efforts crucial.
