Seen some people refusing to look at the results of the Switch 2 hacks because AI was used to find the exploit. And I want to ask something…
Do you believe that logic for other stuff too?
If a cure for cancer was found by dubious means (AI or illegal scientific studies) would you refuse to take it if you were dying?
How about all the tech and scientific knowledge found through unethical experiments by authoritarian regimes, or developed for military purposes? What about info found via hacks?

Like many of NASA’s inventions and space flight research were created in part due to ex Nazi scientists recruited via Operation Paperclip. Is it wrong to use that technology? There’s an interesting article about this sort of thing in medicine here: https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/forbidden-medicine-what-do-we-do-when-medical-breakthroughs-are-unethical So, what do you think? Are discoveries made through AI acceptable?
