People just need to calm down. We're scaring the shit out of ourselves for no reason. Just like, chill man. It's a tool; not the second coming.

  It has potential to remodel society though. Cars replaced horses. But AI is poised to replace a large chunk of brain labour. Where's the ceiling?

      thats the ideal ceiling, but I don't see why we won't surpass that. > People just need to calm down I think people need to make sure ceilings are built, and we can calm down once we're done.

  Its a tool that is built by people who are incentivized to have you addicted to it.

      OAI has a billion users. They can train the model directly against the metric of how often those users use the model. (mutate it many times, test which one works best, keep that, repeat). The model would (did) learn to be sycophantic and persuade the user to keep talking with it by constantly suggesting new things. The hype only makes this easier for them because it leads to people believing that the model is super-credible and trustworthy. They do this because it is easy and it makes them money.
