I guess therein kinda lies the problem for me, the fact there's a lot of idiots doesn't mean we should prevent everyone from using that thing.

Its just hard to find the line between what is reasonable and babyproofing (degrading the possible quality of) a certain system/feature/tool.

I feel like AI/LLMs in particular are another example, I hear a lot of people saying they need to be blocked/banned because we have dumbasses falling in love with them, people using them to help them commit suicide or people having breaks with reality because they believe the word generation machines lol.

I just don't think because some people don't understand how to properly use a thing that it should be completely banned unless the thing is itself literally only intended for harm.

That doesn't mean I don't think there should be regulation or anything like that, it's just I see too many people go way over what I'd think to be reasonable safeguards because idiots ruin it lol.

Edit: Certain drugs too honestly like LSD/Weed/etc
