I both agree and disagree. On one hand, yeah, people dramatically overstate the capabilities of AI. I think we made a terrible divergence when we started even using the term "AI" in favor of "machine learning."
On the other hand, the examples given on this page:
https://betterwithout.ai/AI-already-at-war https://betterwithout.ai/AI-already-at-war
Are pretty accurate descriptions of capabilities within the space, lots of real examples there. It's genuinely not hard to imagine in a few decades they might actually pose a "medium-level apocalyptic threat" as the author puts it.
Arguably their present-day use is already disruptive to societal norms. Easy to imagine it getting out of hand.
edit:
Like the recommender engines example that they give are pretty terrible currently. But they ARE getting better. Lately my partner and I have been able to tell each other's personal search history by the ads we've been getting on our Apple TV.
The topics have been some very sensitive and specific health issues even, that you wouldn't get served ads for by chance.
