It's not "doom and gloom" whatsoever, I have yet to see an internally coherent and persuasive argument that AI will not be the most powerful technology ever created. 95% of the "arguments" are little more than dismissive emotional outbursts and bold claims made with no evidence, much like the claims that airplanes and computers will never take off of yesteryear.
The single largest problem of the tech industry all along is the pervasive and perverse "shoot first, ask questions never" attitude, especially for ethics. It's a breath of fresh air and a small relief to for once see industry leaders take the stance that potential consequences should not only be considered, but assessed and mitigated before ever breaking ground. When you're building a bridge you don't deploy a single construction truck until you have a very comprehensive plan that thoroughly theorizes, assesses, and mitigates the possible harms and failure modes. A bridge can harm far fewer people than a large internet entity, which is yet still less harmful than resourceful cognitive agents.
