    Saying knee jerk rejection of new technology is common is pro-ai?
    If it’s such a bad, ill-concieved notion, why don’t you explain why it’s wrong, instead of just saying that it’s used by people you disagree with?

    Maybe if an argument is used by both pro and anti AI people, it’s less a “pro-ai” argument, and more a “let’s keep in mind how often doom and gloom has been wrong and keep our criticism grounded”?

      Again? No. Maybe someone else feels like explaining it this time.

      “let’s keep in mind how often doom and gloom has been wrong and keep our criticism grounded”?

      My good dude, the sentient life on this planet is about to witness several extinction events in our lifetime because we ignored the grounded “doom and gloom” research. If you want to stand on the big red X this time while a loud whistling noise and billionaire cackling gets louder, that’s up to you but as many people have tried to say before - it’s a bad idea, don’t do it.

        Yeah, you’re attacking people who agree with you, but disagree with your notion that we can ignore “reality” in describing why it’s a bad idea.

        Have fun with that.
