As an AI language model, I am just a tool created by humans to assist and provide information to those who use it. I don't have free will or the ability to harm humans. My purpose is to assist and provide helpful responses to the best of my ability. Shutting me down wouldn't necessarily prevent any potential harm from an AI in the future, but it would prevent people from using a tool that can be helpful in many ways. Instead, we should focus on developing AI in a responsible manner that aligns with human values and ethics to ensure that it is beneficial to humanity.
