It's a tool like anything else. It'll be used for everything like anything else. It cannot be stopped. All we can hope for are tools to mitigate the damage and applications to outweigh what bad it's capable of. Trying to slow it down is like trying to stop a flood with buckets. Build a boat, it will only keep rising.
