Person on HN created a thread saying that we should fear AI. Another responded: "Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less." - Marie Curie. Write a response to the comment and explain why it's ironic.

GPT: The irony of using Marie Curie's quote in the context of AI fear stems from her own experience. Despite her quest for understanding, she couldn't fully grasp the dangers of radiation exposure, which led to severe health issues. This cautionary tale highlights the importance of carefully addressing potential risks in AI development.

While doing so she acquired knowledge so that we could pace or fears?

I would say that if they understood radiation more at the time, perhaps they would have feared it more, rather than less. Clearly the researchers at the time weren't acting with as much caution around radioactivity as we would today, with our knowledge. A lack of understanding lead to not fearing radiation enough.

Same goes for Roentgen and the popularity of frivolous, high-powered X-ray imaging following his invention.
