Imagine a world where both a Binding Contract and Artificial Intelligence are considered the product of fanatic nutjobs imagination as a general consensus in society.
The world would be so much better.

Electricity is arguably a product of "fanatic nutjobs imagination" ... If you have any problems with it, like the nice man from the electric
monopoly company said when he came to turn my power off one time,
"There are other alternatives"
...
I looked at him like

and flipped him off as hard as I could.
Artificial Intelligence is a cybernetically impossible transformation. It's just not possible to create it, by definition.
Machines can be arbitrarily complex but they are defined in such a way that they depend on Man to control them. In computer science AI is used as a weasel word to describe mechanisms which attempt to solve problems using mathematical concepts which should, in theory enable the machine to compute solutions for problems it wouldn't have sufficient computational strength using other methods.
In transhumanism it refers to self-improving machines which again can not be constructed by definition. Every machine will still have a constraint defined by the parameters it is programmed even if it is able to construct copies of itself and use stochastic processes to fine-tune the parameters.
Nothing is the only thing that is impossible, and I (and I would argue no one else) still do not KNOW this.
