My favorite thing about the AI hype is that the bazinga brains will tell you one moment that AI will replace humans in making movies or driving cars and then the next moment they’ll say that AI will form the singularity and lead to human extinction. Like, if you think AI is going to make humans entirely obsolete in the very near future, why even bring up the idea that robots will start making Marvel movies? It would be like saying climate change will lead to the apocalypse, and will also make California wine more expensive. One kind of obviates the need to talk about the other.
