It's just the pattern of people camping into one or the other extreme, which tends to occur with every topic. Nuance and depth is mentally expensive, whereas extremes are trivially easy by comparison and super fast (because you can discard so much explanation, discussion, thought and reality-binding once you decide to pursue fantasy). It's identical to: AI sucks vs AI is amazing. Well, no, it's a complicated subject and always will be. Those extremes snippets are worthless bumpersticker-thought. AI will very rapidly conquer all, becoming a practical Earth deity in the span of decades. AI will disappoint perpetually, progressing at a snail's pace for decades to come. The truth is dramatically more likely to be inbetween the extremes, and going there intellectually doesn't lend itself very well to short comments.
