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.
This, it's gonna be hugely destabilizing because it's gonna upturn huge sections of the economy and put a lot of people out of work. For example today you could put in a prompt to an AI and ask it something like "I'm planning a trip to xyz, find when the cheapest time to fly there is, buy me a ticket and book a hotel, and find me the highest rated sushi spot on xyz day and give me local spots to visit etc etc"
Like right there with a simple prompt you just bypassed all the search engines, travel sites, travel agents, hospitality sites & guides, food reviews and blogs, etc and you did it under a minute. It's pretty crazy to think of these jobs and career fields that will literally not be able to compete and that's not in the future, like you could do a prompt like that right now.
"AI" is amazing... At the one extremely limited and specific thing the model is trained for, and as long as the thing it's trained for has any kind of order and consistency to it.
If you need to separate unlabelled data into groups or extrapolate future data points it's incredible. Anything else it's useless.
