A.i. isn't real. Im tired of all this hype around glorified computers labeled "thinking machines" and "language learning models" or similar titles to sell star Trek fantasies.
I'm eager to see the regulation of fear mongering and sensationalist talking points in regards to AGI. It can cause severe mental damage or demoralization and unproductivity in entire industries. I've been identifying media like this to learn to ignore it and and see past the exaggerated click bait, and its always the same thing:
AI apocalypse
Ominous wordage like "takeover" or metaphors like "AGI God"
movie analogies
a.i. will replace all humans in x industry
Ai is simply an accumulated reflection of human inputs. Though it may pose risks, every tool does as well, from a hammer to a computer! This anthropomorphizing of technology is inspired by fictional works like 'frankenstein' or 'terminator' and religious concepts like 'mud golems'.
Perhaps AI may become sentient and do unsavory things at some point in time; but intentional fear mongering and sensationalist anthropomorphizing of Ai isn't necessary as we've all been living in a technologically dominated and managed world for many decades already, and though it's good to prepare for the worst, humans should be encouraged to hope for the best, especially since nothing can stop what is coming in regards to the absolutely necessary a.I. development occuring worldwide at an exponentially advancing and demanding rate.
AI is as likely to create utopia as it is to cause havoc, as with any technology. The risk is well with the reward -- and the genie is already out of the bottle.
