Oh, I agree that people (including the developers pretending that AI is on intelligent) are hyping it up as more than what it is - but let's not act like it's not a disruptive technology. LLMs are only the beginning. Once more of these get leaked out into the open the development will be exponential. I expect them to fully mimic human intelligence within the next 10 years. It's mostly a good thing as long as that development is not kept in the hands of the elites. I feel like the fear mongering over AI and Climate Change are on entirely different levels. The former is a lot of hype and FUD and people admittedly don't know how it works or what will happen. The latter is a church and everyone KNOWS the world will end in 10 years if we don't cut CO2 emissions NOW.
It's being spammed everywhere as being the end times,
I would attribute that more to the majority of the population being retarded and thinking that Skynet is coming, rather than what's more likely which is an economic upheaval that would give Luddites a good name. AI doesn't have to actually achieve the sci-fi form of a thinking machine in order for it to be hugely destabilizing.
Note how the flat-earthers and ancient aliens people don't get cracked down on.
You only need to crack down on dissenters when they are dissenting against a lie.
What does AI have to do with it?
