AI is coming whether we want it or not. The question is who will control the AI.
Imagine if during WWII US regulators said "hmm sorry but you're not allowed to develop nuclear bombs." This wouldn't stop the nuclear bomb from being built. All it would do is ensure that our enemies had nukes and we didn't.
Or if you prefer a different metaphor, think of this like a "gun-free zone."
This is a bad mindset to have. We have to resist this, there is no reason we ever have to accept this. I do not want to live in a world full of cyborgs, and many other people don't too, and there is nothing saying we have to go down this current path, we can make it difficult for them to accomplish their goals.
It’s possible you’re correct, but how sure are you that this will result in the best possible future?
Imagine if the US said “we refuse to build a nuclear bomb,” and then Nazis built it before we did, nuked NYC and DC, won the war, and became the de facto leader of the world like we are today?
That is worth considering. We can't stop the tide of "progress", so we had better form some legislative committees to study all the implications and possibilities for regulation and imposition of penalties for violations. Outlaw it until we have a plan in place. Looks like it's time.

Perhaps, but if we continue with my analogy that would be like outlawing the US production of nuclear bombs during WWII.
