If we're talking realm of pure fantasy: destroy it.
I want you to understand this is not AI sentiment as a whole, I understand why the idea is appealing, how it could be useful, and in some ways may seem inevitable.
But a lot of sci-fi doesn't really address the run up to AI, in fact a lot of it just kind of assumes there'll be an awakening one day. What we have right now is an unholy, squawking abomination that has been marketed to nefarious ends and never should have been trusted as far as it has. Think real hard about how corporations are pushing the development and not academia.
Put it out of its misery.
How do you "destroy it"? I mean, you can download an open source model to your computer right now in like five minutes. It's not Skynet, you can't just physically blow it up.
OP asked what people wanted to happen, and even later "destroy gen AI" as an option. I get it is not realistically feasible, but it's certainly within the realm of options provided for the discussion. No need to police their pie in the sky dream. I'm sure they realize it's not realistic.
