Every article I come across on AI in the BBC or The Guardian seems to be a sensationalized scare story about AI taking over, compromising our data, or other alarming scenarios. They often quote someone they've dubbed the "Godfather of AI" to lend credibility to what feels like subpar journalism. I struggle to recall any BBC or Guardian piece that focuses on the positive potential of AI in fields like the creative arts, science, technology, and healthcare. It's consistently skewed towards negativity.

Works in social media too. Social platforms promote the most divisive, triggering, or negative content to maximize engagement.
