What about the folks that say everything will work out in a fair and balanced way as if the universe and everything in reality stays perfectly balanced on a tip of a pin?
You paint the picture as if the All or nothing folks are extreme when in reality the extreme is more likely then some perfectly fair and balanced equilibrium.
In nature things tend to overload or fizzle out or stay in equilibrium. Equilibrium, though possible, is the rarer outcome. Mind you it's not an impossible outcome but given the way entropy works, it is the rarer outcome.
Humanity itself is an example of this rare outcome. Usually molecules don't self assemble into replicating machines, they either freeze into inanimate rock or overload into fusion producing stars.
As for AI. I think it will either change the world, or amount to nothing. The former seems more likely. Some strange middle ground where the ai technology never improves to some point of a societal paradigm shift seems unlikely. chatGPT and sora only makes me ask what is the trend line predicting next?
