It can be that while also causing problems. It's like when a self driving car crashes, it's big news and everyone runs around like their pants are on fire. When a human driver crashes, it's a blip on local news or not even that.

Difference is in how you sell it. We all know that people make mistakes. I.e. crash a car from time to time. We all are sold a view that AI will save humanity, cure all diseases, solve all problems, allow for autonomous driving and many other (lies?). While making basic mistakes or crashing on trivial crossroads.. Hype is way overblown.

  The anti-hype is also way overblown. Nobody is saying that today's AI is omniscient and never makes mistakes. Future models will make fewer mistakes. They will still not hook into the universe with a cheat code and do everything at 100 percent reliability. It's a straw man.

    Overblown? Not really. There is still not enough of criticism given asinine hype given by the LLM and adjacent companies. Funny of you to mention strawman after presenting one.

    The hype has significant real-world consequences such as nonsensical amounts of funding and valuations that could crash the world economy at some point. Until there some "check" on this system, i think the anti-hype is quite valid.

Probably because there are 1000x or whatever human driven miles compared to AI. And no one wants to be crippled by an AI have have to fight $billon_dollar_corp for compensation.

When a human driver controlling a bus crashes though it's a big story. Even bigger when it's a train. News scales with novelty and people impacted - 1 driver being a problem isn't an issue, an ai system used in many cars... That is more newsworthy.
