The biggest threat of AI is not its ability of taking jobs or exterminating mankind, but the amount of distraction it creates.
When politicians say they improved the economy like 30%, nobody buys into that. It's an overly exaggerated misleading political talk. But when some tech gurus talk about how AI improved their profit 30% or something, everyone seems to hop on. It's an effective marketing, for sure, but this is a worrisome trend. The root cause of this is I think the lack of proper understanding of fundamentals (and intellectual sloppiness). AI will continue to plague us on this front, and I'm still not sure if the net gain is going to beat all the distractions it created.
