There are plenty of those who purport AGIs threaten us and conflate "existence" with "potential". This is aimed at those driven to hysterics by such.

- notJim 3y agoI think the argument is that current and future AI advancements could lead to AGI. The people I've seen like Yudkowsky who are concerned about AGI don't claim that Chat-GPT is an AGI AFAIK. BTW, I disagree with Yud, but there's no reason to misconstrue his statements.
- jabowery 3y agoYud is doing more than his share of generating misconstrual of his own statements as evidenced by the laws and regulations being enacted by people who are convinced that AGI is upon is. Ironically, they're right in the sense that the global economy is an unfriendly AGI causing the demographic transition to extinction levels of total fertility rate in exact proportion to the degree it has turned its human components into sterile worker mechanical Turks -- most exemplified by the very people who are misconstruing Yud's statements.

I'd hazard a guess that the Venn diagrams of "those who purport AGIs threaten us and conflate 'existence' with 'potential'" and of "people who grok binary and can solve esoteric brain teasers using it" have very little overlap. You might have more success with an example that's a little more accessible to "normies".
