No serious person is predicting that. There are a few categories of person who are making those predictions: - AI CEOs, who require hype to be able to keep hemorrhaging money long enough to... hemorrhage more money - The poor AI researchers the AI CEOs drag into public to lie in support of their narrative - People who are not close to the tech, but who are influential in poltiics, finance, podcasts, etc who are wholly convinced by the grifters above - they did a little bit of poking around and saw some smart looking regurgitated boilerplate - Grifter influencers, entrepreneurs, etc who don't care, they just want to push AI doom or vibe coding dreams for clicks, or sell some shitty AI solutions to companies eager to get in on the hype The people you don't hear from are the AI researchers who know most of this is bullshit, but they aren't going to go on the record publicly expressing that they don't believe in the tech they're working on, because they like to be employed (and for absurd amounts of money)
