We've been hearing from a very long line of panic merchants for many years now about how AI is a terrible, terrible danger.
And sure, yes, if you look at environmental and job losses.
But these panic heads are whipping themselves and others into a frenxy not about that, but about some sort of Skynet type takeover of the world.
Not a sign of it yet. Unless you count AI's that hack into things - but that is not the end of the world, and they are simply joining the ranks of the many humans doing the same and the world has not ended.
I worry for the mental health of some of these folks who are deeply freaking out about nothing.
